Help Iván keep his home - 4 months behind on rent

A car accident left Iván short on rent for 4 months; help us stay in our home.

When my hours were cut in half in August, Iván fell 4 months behind on rent. Last Friday a termination letter was taped to the door, and the amount owed is $3,700. 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. Iván 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 $3,700 goes: • First month of rent as a buffer: $990 • Late fees and court costs: $380 • Rent arrears (4 months): $2,330 Thanks for reading all this. - Sebastián
