Aaron received an eviction notice - help us catch up on rent
After a divorce, Aaron is 2 months behind on rent and has a notice to vacate from the landlord.
🇺🇸 Shreveport, Louisiana, United States6,220 views
When my hours were cut in half in August, I fell 2 months behind on rent. Last Tuesday a notice to vacate was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $4,450.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by December, we must leave.
I have two young 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 $4,450 goes:
• Rent arrears (2 months): $3,250
• Late fees and court costs: $130
• Utilities in arrears: $185
• First month of rent as a buffer: $885
Glad we found this place.

Updates from Aaron
Good news. Because of your gifts ($2,329 in total) I made the first payment toward rent arrears. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

any update on how things are going in Shreveport?
thanks for sharing this, Aaron. This could happen to any of us.
So sorry you're going through this. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double
Rooting for you. Shared this with my family. I'm in teaching myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Greetings from Busan
Wishing you peace, Aaron. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Love from Bandung.
Wishing you peace, Aaron. Your post was clear and honest. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. God bless.
Hope it all works out. Hope this works out for you. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Take care.

Best of luck. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Thinking of Shreveport.
Keep going, Aaron. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better
