After a sudden layoff at the packaging plant, Josephine fell 4 months behind on rent. Last Wednesday a termination letter was taped to the door, and the amount owed is $2,650.
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 1 children at home. Moving would mean new schools, a new commute and no deposit to put down anywhere else.
Josephine 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.
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 $2,650 goes:
• Late fees and court costs: $150
• First month of rent as a buffer: $810
• Rent arrears (4 months): $1,690
Thank you so much.

Hope it all works out. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.
