Stop the eviction: 5 months of rent for Queen's family in Bonny
After a long illness, Queen is 5 months behind on rent and has a final eviction notice from the landlord.

When the restaurant closed in August, I fell 5 months behind on rent. Last Friday a final eviction notice was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $750.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by November, we must leave.
I have a toddler and a baby 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 night deliveries, and I'm applying for help from local services, but nothing will arrive in time without the rest of the gap covered here.
The money will be paid directly to the landlord and I'll upload the receipt once it's done.
Where the $750 goes:
• Rent arrears (5 months): $500
• Late fees and court costs: $50
• Utilities in arrears: $25
• First month of rent as a buffer: $175
Thanks for being kind about this.

Stay strong, Queen. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Thinking of Bonny.
Hope things get better soon. Shared it with a few friends. We're a small family in Radom but we're thinking of you. Thinking of Bonny.
Stay strong, Queen. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Greetings from Kadıköy.
It takes guts to ask. Well done. Thinking of Bonny.
Thinking of you, Queen. Your post was clear and honest. Blessings.
