Following a long illness in the family, I fell 5 months behind on rent. Last Thursday a final eviction notice was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $350. My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by December, we must leave. I've 4 children at home. Moving isn't just an expense - it would mean new schools, a new commute and no deposit to put down anywhere else. I have started working two part-time jobs, and I'm applying for help from local services, but nothing will arrive in time without the rest of the gap covered here. Funds go to the landlord and nowhere else. Any amount left over after the arrears are cleared will go toward next month's rent. Where the $350 goes: • Rent arrears (5 months): $190 • Late fees and court costs: $35 • Utilities in arrears: $40 • First month of rent as a buffer: $85 Glad we found this place.

Updates from Noman

  1. Good news. Because of your gifts ($291 in total) we've booked the dates and paid the deposit. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

    Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Don't give up. Love from Kozhikode.

      Hope it all works out, Noman. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it

        Wishing you the best. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Don't give up. Love from Gwagwalada

          sending good thoughts, Noman. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon.

          • Tejaswini C. Yadav

            good luck, Noman. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.
