After a divorce, Walter is 3 months behind on rent and has a court summons for non-payment from the landlord.

Following a long illness in the family, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Thursday a court summons for non-payment was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $2,950.
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've 3 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 evenings as a cleaner, 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 $2,950 goes:
• Utilities in arrears: $300
• Rent arrears (3 months): $2,150
• First month of rent as a buffer: $500
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Keep going, Walter. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon.
Sending love, Walter. I hope things turn around soon. Greetings from Dallas.
So sorry you're going through this, Walter. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon.
Good luck, Walter. Shared this with my family. My brother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. God bless.
Sending love, Walter. Hope this works out for you. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like.
So sorry you're going through this, Walter. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. All the best.
Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. I'm in engineering myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. God bless.
Hope it all works out, Walter. Shared it with a few friends. Put this on a community board in Seongnam this morning.
Your post was clear and honest. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Thinking of Wiesbaden.
