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.

    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.
