Help Miguel keep his home - 3 months behind on rent

A car accident left Miguel short on rent for 3 months; help us stay in our home.

After a sudden layoff at the restaurant, Miguel fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Friday a notice to vacate was taped to the door, and the amount owed is $1,550. 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 4 children at home. Moving would mean new schools, a new commute and no deposit to put down anywhere else. Miguel 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 $1,550 goes: • Utilities in arrears: $240 • First month of rent as a buffer: $1,050 • Late fees and court costs: $260 Thank you so much. - Carlos
