Help Cecilia keep her home - 3 months behind on rent

After a divorce, Cecilia is 3 months behind on rent and has a notice to vacate from the landlord.

When the hotel closed in July, Cecilia fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Monday a notice to vacate was taped to the door, and the amount owed is $500. The landlord was understanding for a while, but has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by September, the family must leave. There are 1 children at home. Moving would mean new schools, a new commute and no deposit to put down anywhere else. Cecilia has started working night deliveries, and is applying for help from local services, but nothing will arrive in time without the rest of the gap covered here. Funds go to the landlord and nowhere else. Any amount left over after the arrears are cleared will go toward next month's rent. Where the $500 goes: • Rent arrears (3 months): $250 • Late fees and court costs: $40 • Utilities in arrears: $25 • First month of rent as a buffer: $185 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Updates from Jasmine

  1. Quick update: $336 raised so far (67%). I met with the landlord and confirmed the amounts. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.

  2. Good news. Because of your gifts ($145 in total) I made the first payment toward rent arrears. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
