Wayne received an eviction notice - help us catch up on rent
The loss of a second income left Wayne short on rent for 3 months; help us stay in our home.

After a sudden layoff at the warehouse, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Monday a notice to vacate was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $3,150.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by July, 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 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 $3,150 goes:
• First month of rent as a buffer: $490
• Utilities in arrears: $200
• Rent arrears (3 months): $2,460
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

Sending strength. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust
thinking of you. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Love from Pune.
You're not alone, Wayne. I hope things turn around soon. All the best.
You're not alone, Wayne. Your post was clear and honest. Take care
