Vindya received an eviction notice - help us catch up on rent

A long illness left Vindya short on rent for 3 months; help us stay in our home.

When the packaging plant closed in May, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Saturday a final eviction notice was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $800. My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by August, 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 weekend shifts, 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 $800 goes: • Rent arrears (3 months): $590 • Utilities in arrears: $35 • First month of rent as a buffer: $175 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure. - Vindya

    It takes guts to ask. Well done. Sent it to 23 people at work. Take care

      Sending good thoughts, Vindya. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double

        Rooting for you, Vindya. Your post was clear and honest. After 26 years in engineering I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Blessings

        • Beatrice Chebet Rashidi

          Thinking of you and your family, Vindya. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. All the best.
