Dola received an eviction notice - help us catch up on rent
The loss of a second income left Dola short on rent for 5 months; help us stay in our home.

After a sudden layoff at the bakery, I fell 5 months behind on rent. Last Friday a notice to vacate was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $700.
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 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 night deliveries, 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 $700 goes:
• Rent arrears (5 months): $530
• Late fees and court costs: $30
• Utilities in arrears: $50
• First month of rent as a buffer: $90
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Thinking of you and your family. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like.
Hang in there, Dola. Shared it with a few friends. My brother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home
