Anna received an eviction notice - help us catch up on rent
A delayed insurance payout left Anna short on rent for 3 months; help us stay in our home.

After a sudden layoff at the bakery, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Wednesday a 10-day notice to quit was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $4,200.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by August, we must leave.
I've 4 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 weekend shifts, 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 $4,200 goes:
• Rent arrears (3 months): $2,900
• Late fees and court costs: $270
• Utilities in arrears: $160
• First month of rent as a buffer: $870
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Stay strong. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My neighbor in Birmingham donated after I showed her your page. Thinking of Auckland.
You're not alone. 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.
Hang in there. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. Don't be hard on yourself for asking.
Thanks for sharing this, Anna. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We're a small family in San Francisco but we're thinking of you. God bless.
Sending love, Anna. Shared this with my family. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.
