Help Anthony keep his home - 3 months behind on rent
A sudden layoff left Anthony short on rent for 3 months; help us stay in our home.
🇺🇸 United States969 views
When my hours were cut in half in April, Anthony fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Saturday a 10-day notice to quit was taped to the door, and the amount owed is $2,700.
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 three school-aged children at home. Moving would mean new schools, a new commute and no deposit to put down anywhere else.
Anthony 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 $2,700 goes:
• Rent arrears (3 months): $1,600
• Late fees and court costs: $195
• Utilities in arrears: $280
• First month of rent as a buffer: $625
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Montgomery.
Thank you. If you're in Montgomery I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Ask me anything else.
sending good thoughts. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Please keep us posted. God bless.
Keep going, Ellie. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. After 13 years in construction I know how hard it's to ask for anything
Thanks for sharing this. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Greetings from Gold Coast
