After a sudden layoff at the warehouse, I fell 5 months behind on rent. Last Tuesday 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 October, 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 weekend shifts, 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 $350 goes:
• First month of rent as a buffer: $210
• Utilities in arrears: $70
• Late fees and court costs: $70
Thank you for reading my story.

You're not alone, Renata. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Greetings from Mérida.

praying for you, Renata. Shared this with my family. After 21 years in retail I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
