Help Arthur keep his home - 5 months behind on rent

A car accident left Arthur short on rent for 5 months; help us stay in our home.

After a car accident that kept me from work for 5 weeks, Arthur fell 5 months behind on rent. Last Tuesday a termination letter was taped to the door, and the amount owed is $1,250. The landlord was understanding for a while, but has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by November, the family must leave. There are a teenager still in school at home. Moving would mean new schools, a new commute and no deposit to put down anywhere else. Arthur has started working extra hours at a market stall, 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 $1,250 goes: • Rent arrears (5 months): $860 • Late fees and court costs: $125 • Utilities in arrears: $30 • First month of rent as a buffer: $235 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support. - Simone

    Thinking of you, Simone. It takes guts to ask. Well done. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Love from Arlington.
