Help Amelia keep her home - 3 months behind on rent
The closure of the factory left Amelia short on rent for 3 months; help us stay in our home.

When the construction firm closed in March, Amelia fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Tuesday a final eviction notice was taped to the door, and the amount owed is $2,850.
The landlord was understanding for a while, but has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by June, the family must leave.
There are 3 children at home. Moving would mean new schools, a new commute and no deposit to put down anywhere else.
Amelia has started working weekend shifts, 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 $2,850 goes:
• First month of rent as a buffer: $850
• Late fees and court costs: $170
• Rent arrears (3 months): $1,830
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

I hope things turn around soon. I went through something like this 13 years ago and strangers helped me out. Thinking of London.
