After a car accident that kept me from work for 3 weeks, Terry fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Sunday a 10-day notice to quit was taped to the door, and the amount owed is $3,100. The landlord was understanding for a while, but has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by March, the family must leave. There are a teenager still in school at home. Moving would mean new schools, a new commute and no deposit to put down anywhere else. Terry has started working weekend shifts, and is 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 $3,100 goes: • Rent arrears (3 months): $2,150 • Late fees and court costs: $220 • Utilities in arrears: $200 • First month of rent as a buffer: $530 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

              Keep going, Claire. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Put this on a community board in Bornova this morning.
