Portland

After a sudden layoff at the hotel, Brenda fell 5 months behind on rent. Last Sunday a termination letter was taped to the door, and the amount owed is $1,400. The landlord was understanding for a while, but has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by November, the family must leave. There are a toddler and a baby at home. Moving would mean new schools, a new commute and no deposit to put down anywhere else. Brenda has started working extra hours at a market stall, and is 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 $1,400 goes: • First month of rent as a buffer: $950 • Late fees and court costs: $270 • Utilities in arrears: $180 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.
