After a car accident that kept me from work for 3 weeks, I fell 5 months behind on rent. Last Saturday a final eviction notice was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $3,800.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by June, 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 $3,800 goes:
• Utilities in arrears: $230
• Rent arrears (5 months): $3,250
• Late fees and court costs: $320
Thanks for reading all this.

Can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Colorado Springs
Thank you. If you're in Colorado Springs I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Thanks for looking so closely.
Wishing you peace, Sunita. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Greetings from Naples.
Good luck. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Love from Arlington.

Wishing you the best, Sunita. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I have a 5 year old who wants to send good wishes too. All the best.
