Ayaan received an eviction notice - help us catch up on rent
The closure of the factory left Ayaan short on rent for 5 months; help us stay in our home.

When my hours were cut in half in August, I fell 5 months behind on rent. Last Saturday a final eviction notice was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $450.
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 2 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 two part-time jobs, and I'm applying for help from local services, but nothing will arrive in time without the rest of the gap covered here.
Funds go to the landlord and nowhere else. Any amount left over after the arrears are cleared will go toward next month's rent.
Where the $450 goes:
• Rent arrears (5 months): $290
• Late fees and court costs: $20
• Utilities in arrears: $25
• First month of rent as a buffer: $115
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Praying for you, Ayaan. I hope things turn around soon. Greetings from Charlotte
Hope things get better soon, Ayaan. Hope you get there.
Take care. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. We're a small family in Cape Town but we're thinking of you. All the best.
wishing you peace, Ayaan. Shared it with a few friends. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Greetings from Richards Bay.
