Help Ana keep her home - 3 months behind on rent
After a cut in working hours, Ana is 3 months behind on rent and has a 10-day notice to quit from the landlord.

After a sudden layoff at the textile factory, Ana fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Friday a 10-day notice to quit was taped to the door, and the amount owed is $4,550.
The landlord was understanding for a while, but has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by August, the family must leave.
There are a toddler and a baby at home. Moving would mean new schools, a new commute and no deposit to put down anywhere else.
Ana 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 $4,550 goes:
• Rent arrears (3 months): $3,100
• Late fees and court costs: $155
• Utilities in arrears: $140
• First month of rent as a buffer: $1,155
Thanks for being kind about this.

Thinking of you. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. My husband and I read this together. Thinking of Anaheim.
I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. My neighbor in Liverpool donated after I showed her your page. All the best.
Rooting for you, Francisco. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. God bless!
