After a sudden layoff at the construction firm, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Monday a 10-day notice to quit was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $550.
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 1 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 night deliveries, 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 $550 goes:
• Rent arrears (3 months): $420
• Late fees and court costs: $45
• Utilities in arrears: $25
• First month of rent as a buffer: $60
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

Is there anything that isn't money that would help Waseem?
Thank you. If you're in Islamabad I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Happy to explain more.
Thinking of you and your family, Waseem. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Love from Iztapalapa
Thinking of you, Waseem. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. I hope November is when things finally get easier.
