Help Elsa keep her home - 5 months behind on rent

After a divorce, Elsa is 5 months behind on rent and has a court summons for non-payment from the landlord.

When my hours were cut in half in August, Elsa fell 5 months behind on rent. Last Sunday a court summons for non-payment was taped to the door, and the amount owed is $300. 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 a teenager still in school at home. Moving would mean new schools, a new commute and no deposit to put down anywhere else. Elsa has started working extra hours at a market stall, 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 $300 goes: • Utilities in arrears: $40 • Rent arrears (5 months): $230 • Late fees and court costs: $30 If you're reading this, thank you. - Citra
