After a car accident that kept me from work for 4 weeks, I fell 5 months behind on rent. Last Tuesday a notice to vacate was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $500.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by September, we must leave.
I have three school-aged 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 $500 goes:
• Rent arrears (5 months): $300
• Late fees and court costs: $20
• Utilities in arrears: $40
• First month of rent as a buffer: $140
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

sending love, Rina. This could happen to any of us. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. God bless.
Is rent arrears (5 months) the biggest cost or is there more coming?
It's all in the list in the story. rent arrears (5 months) is the big one at $300, I'll post a receipt when it's paid. Fair thing to want to know.
It takes guts to ask. Well done. My neighbor in Leicester donated after I showed her your page. Greetings from Leicester.
Thinking of you and your family, Rina. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. God bless
