After a car accident that kept me from work for 12 weeks, Carlos fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Monday a termination letter was taped to the door, and the amount owed is $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 three school-aged children at home. Moving would mean new schools, a new commute and no deposit to put down anywhere else. Carlos has started working evenings as a cleaner, 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 $250 goes: • First month of rent as a buffer: $160 • Utilities in arrears: $65 • Late fees and court costs: $25 Thanks for being kind about this. - Andrea
