Help Irma keep her home - 4 months behind on rent

A divorce left Irma short on rent for 4 months; help us stay in our home.

After a sudden layoff at the restaurant, Irma fell 4 months behind on rent. Last Thursday a 10-day notice to quit was taped to the door, and the amount owed is $800. 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 3 children at home. Moving would mean new schools, a new commute and no deposit to put down anywhere else. Irma 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 $800 goes: • Rent arrears (4 months): $570 • Late fees and court costs: $45 • First month of rent as a buffer: $185 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.
