Help Long keep his home - 3 months behind on rent
After a delayed insurance payout, Long is 3 months behind on rent and has a 10-day notice to quit from the landlord.

After a car accident that kept me from work for 10 weeks, Long fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Thursday a 10-day notice to quit was taped to the door, and the amount owed is $4,750.
The landlord was understanding for a while, but has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by October, the family must leave.
There are three school-aged children at home. Moving would mean new schools, a new commute and no deposit to put down anywhere else.
Long has started working weekend shifts, 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 $4,750 goes:
• Rent arrears (3 months): $3,100
• Late fees and court costs: $240
• Utilities in arrears: $210
• First month of rent as a buffer: $1,200

Thinking of you and your family, Long. This could happen to any of us
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Long.
Rent arrears (3 months) is $3,100 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Thanks for looking so closely.
Sending strength, Long. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Love from Campinas

Hang in there, Long. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Take care.
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I went through something like this 11 years ago and strangers helped me out.
