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

The loss of a second income left Hannah short on rent for 3 months; help us stay in our home.

When my hours were cut in half in January, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Tuesday a final eviction notice was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $1,300. My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by May, 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 $1,300 goes: • Utilities in arrears: $210 • First month of rent as a buffer: $930 • Late fees and court costs: $160 Thanks for being kind about this.

Updates from Hannah

  1. Update from St. Louis: the first invoice got paid this week. We're at 14% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

  2. Good news. Because of your gifts ($133 in total) the plan for utilities in arrears is now scheduled. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely. - Hannah

  3. Thank you all. We're at 3% now ($34). I'm honestly stunned. I met with the landlord and confirmed the amounts.
