Help John keep his home - 2 months behind on rent
A sudden layoff left John short on rent for 2 months; help us stay in our home.

After a sudden layoff at the restaurant, John fell 2 months behind on rent. Last Thursday a court summons for non-payment was taped to the door, and the amount owed is $2,550.
The landlord was understanding for a while, but has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by June, 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.
John 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 $2,550 goes:
• First month of rent as a buffer: $800
• Rent arrears (2 months): $1,550
• Utilities in arrears: $200
Thanks for being kind about this.
