Fionn received an eviction notice - help us catch up on rent

After a delayed insurance payout, Fionn is 3 months behind on rent and has a termination letter from the landlord.

After a sudden layoff at the restaurant, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Wednesday a termination letter was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $4,250. 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 extra hours at a market stall, 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 $4,250 goes: • Rent arrears (3 months): $2,850 • Late fees and court costs: $190 • Utilities in arrears: $220 • First month of rent as a buffer: $990 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

Updates from Fionn

  1. Wanted to say thank you properly. 16% funded and I made the first payment toward late fees and court costs.

  2. Update from Dublin: the plan for first month of rent as a buffer is now scheduled. We're at 41% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

  3. Good news. Because of your gifts ($324 in total) I met with the landlord and confirmed the amounts. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
