Help Graciela keep her home - 3 months behind on rent
After a divorce, Graciela is 3 months behind on rent and has a final eviction notice from the landlord.
🇺🇸 United States2,014 views
When my hours were cut in half in August, Graciela fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Friday a final eviction notice was taped to the door, and the amount owed is $4,800.
The landlord was understanding for a while, but has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by December, the family must leave.
There are 3 children at home. Moving would mean new schools, a new commute and no deposit to put down anywhere else.
Graciela 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.
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 $4,800 goes:
• Rent arrears (3 months): $3,450
• Late fees and court costs: $220
• Utilities in arrears: $170
• First month of rent as a buffer: $960
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Good news. Because of your gifts ($1,028 in total) I met with the landlord and confirmed the amounts. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
