Help Christopher keep his home - 4 months behind on rent
After a delayed insurance payout, Christopher is 4 months behind on rent and has a notice to vacate from the landlord.

After a car accident that kept me from work for 5 weeks, Christopher fell 4 months behind on rent. Last Thursday a notice to vacate was taped to the door, and the amount owed is $3,400.
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 a toddler and a baby at home. Moving would mean new schools, a new commute and no deposit to put down anywhere else.
Christopher has started working two part-time jobs, 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 $3,400 goes:
• Rent arrears (4 months): $2,800
• Late fees and court costs: $330
• Utilities in arrears: $270
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Christopher
Rent arrears (4 months) is $2,800 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Ask me anything else.
So sorry you're going through this, Emily. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. Thinking of Jacksonville.
looking forward to the next update. I have a 15 year old who wants to send good wishes too.
Good luck, Emily. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon.
keep going, Emily. Shared it with a few friends. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Take care.
Rooting for you, Emily. This could happen to any of us. Take care.
