After a car accident that kept me from work for 7 weeks, I fell 4 months behind on rent. Last Monday a 10-day notice to quit was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $3,050.
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 extra hours at a market stall, 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 $3,050 goes:
• Rent arrears (4 months): $1,850
• Late fees and court costs: $250
• Utilities in arrears: $260
• First month of rent as a buffer: $690
Thank you for reading my story.

Hope things get better soon, Thomas. Hope this works out for you. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Blessings.
Take care. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. Greetings from Jodhpur
shared it with a few friends. Put this on a community board in Nagpur this morning.
Can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Kassel!
Thank you. If you're in Kassel I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Thanks, that means a lot.
Hope things get better soon. I hope things turn around soon. After 19 years in social work I know how hard it is to ask for anything. Take care.
Keep going, Thomas. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. I went through something like this 6 years ago and strangers helped me out. Thinking of Kassel.
thanks for sharing this, Thomas. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. Sent it to 35 people at work.
I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. After 14 years in customer support I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Thinking of Kassel.
Wishing you peace, Thomas. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. Thinking of Kassel.
