Following a long illness in the family, I fell 5 months behind on rent. Last Wednesday a court summons for non-payment was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $700. 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 two young 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 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 $700 goes: • Rent arrears (5 months): $510 • Late fees and court costs: $35 • Utilities in arrears: $35 • First month of rent as a buffer: $120 With deep gratitude, Sanjay

Updates from Sanjay

  1. 12% there. the plan for utilities in arrears is now scheduled. Thank you.

  2. Quick update: $15 raised so far (2%). the first invoice got paid this week. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.

  3. Good news. Because of your gifts ($31 in total) I met with the landlord and confirmed the amounts. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
