When the construction firm closed in December, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Tuesday a 10-day notice to quit was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $3,450. My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by March, we must leave. I have a toddler and a baby 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 $3,450 goes: • Rent arrears (3 months): $2,050 • Late fees and court costs: $260 • Utilities in arrears: $240 • First month of rent as a buffer: $900 I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen. - Ursula

Updates from Ursula

  1. Quick update: $2,632 raised so far (76%). I made the first payment toward rent arrears. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.

  2. Good news. Because of your gifts ($1,021 in total) the first invoice got paid this week. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

      Keep going. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like.

      • Araceli K. Fuentes
