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

A court summons for non-payment arrived last week. Hana needs $1,800 to clear the arrears and stay housed in Mecca.

When my hours were cut in half in June, I fell 5 months behind on rent. Last Tuesday a court summons for non-payment was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $1,800. My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by September, we must leave. I have a teenager still in school 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. The money will be paid directly to the landlord and I'll upload the receipt once it's done. Where the $1,800 goes: • Utilities in arrears: $125 • First month of rent as a buffer: $600 • Rent arrears (5 months): $1,075 Thank you so much.

Updates from Hana

  1. We're at 28% thanks to 11 of you. I met with the landlord and confirmed the amounts. More news soon.

  2. Good news. Because of your gifts ($395 in total) the first invoice got paid this week. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

    Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Hana

      Utilities in arrears is $125 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Thanks for looking so closely.
