Help Orlando keep his home - 4 months behind on rent
A divorce left Orlando short on rent for 4 months; help us stay in our home.

When the call centre closed in August, Orlando fell 4 months behind on rent. Last Sunday a termination letter was taped to the door, and the amount owed is $800.
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 3 children at home. Moving would mean new schools, a new commute and no deposit to put down anywhere else.
Orlando 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.
The money will be paid directly to the landlord and I'll upload the receipt once it's done.
Where the $800 goes:
• Rent arrears (4 months): $590
• Late fees and court costs: $45
• Utilities in arrears: $40
• First month of rent as a buffer: $125
Thanks for being kind about this.
