<prompt> Human: I am 17 years old and have only one job that pays 200 monthly. My mother is the one who pays most of the rent, she earns around 1,800 a month. The story goes that me and my brother went to the post office to drop a envelope, containing 1,750 in money orders, as we always do at the 1st of every month. After 3 days our landlord texts my brother, who is 22 years old, that the rent hasnt gotten to his P.O box and is asking for us to either find the envelope by tomorrow noon and if we cant, hell come by and get 1,750 in person, which we dont have. The details: Right now we have no money to be able to pay.In about a month my mother will get a total of 8,000 from taxes because she got her social security.The problem is that we cant pay tomorrow, our landlord doesnt seem too pleased that we cant pay and wants us to pay tomorrow.We live in CA, USAWe called the postal office and they said that unless we have a tracking number they cant do anything.My brother doesnt have a job because of a disease he has.Im honestly not worried, its just I dont want our landlord to Up the rent 100 or something or kick us out. The only thing Im stressing out on is my mother who works pretty fucking hard. Shes the one person I least want any weight on. If I could have the problems only be directed to me I would in an instant, but Im only 17 and have a very small job. Im not asking for anything much just advice that could lighten the blow if it were to come to a explosion.Edit: I know absolutely nothing about loans and my mother doesnt have legal documentation yet. She only has her social security for work and a license. My bro might be able to get a loan but he doesnt have a job or anything to his name because of his disease, I think his disease is called west Nile virus or something like that, its suppose to break down his lungs. Ill look up some stuff about the loans and see what happens.Update: My mother came home last night from working and since I was not sleeping I tore through the whole car and was able to find three of the four receipts. Now we only have to pay 250 outve the 1,750 we would of payed. Thank you for helping on the advice it really cleared my mind a bit. Im also making that online billing account so this stuff does not happen again. Thanks you guys again for helping me out.  <response>: Why would you pay rent in money orders instead of a check that can be canceled or PayPal or something secure? Also - contact the issuer of the money order your bank? and see if there is anything they can do to stop payment give you guys the money back.
