Help Elias keep his home - 2 months behind on rent

After a sudden layoff at the bakery, Elias fell 2 months behind on rent. Last Saturday a final eviction notice was taped to the door, and the amount owed is $1,200. 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 a toddler and a baby at home. Moving would mean new schools, a new commute and no deposit to put down anywhere else. Elias 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. The money will be paid directly to the landlord and I'll upload the receipt once it's done. Where the $1,200 goes: • Utilities in arrears: $195 • First month of rent as a buffer: $840 • Late fees and court costs: $165 Glad we found this place. - Bennett
