Help Carter keep his home - 4 months behind on rent
After a cut in working hours, Carter is 4 months behind on rent and has a final eviction notice from the landlord.

When my hours were cut in half in August, Carter fell 4 months behind on rent. Last Saturday a final eviction notice was taped to the door, and the amount owed is $3,550.
The landlord was understanding for a while, but has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by October, the family must leave.
There are two young children at home. Moving would mean new schools, a new commute and no deposit to put down anywhere else.
Carter 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 $3,550 goes:
• Late fees and court costs: $270
• Utilities in arrears: $240
• Rent arrears (4 months): $3,040
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Thinking of you, Samantha. Your post was clear and honest. God bless
Wishing you peace. This could happen to any of us. Love from Medellín.
sending love, Samantha. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Thinking of Bakersfield
Praying for you, Samantha. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We're a small family in São Paulo but we're thinking of you.
Hang in there, Samantha. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. I went through something like this 7 years ago and strangers helped me out. Love from Stockholm.
A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. My sister had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. Wish I lived closer to Swansea so I could bring a meal. Thinking of Bakersfield.
Sending good thoughts. Shared this with my family. I went through something like this 3 years ago and strangers helped me out. Thinking of Bakersfield.
Thinking of you, Samantha. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I'm in nursing myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you.
