Help Roberto keep his home - 3 months behind on rent

Following a long illness in the family, Roberto fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Thursday a court summons for non-payment was taped to the door, and the amount owed is $950. 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 a toddler and a baby at home. Moving would mean new schools, a new commute and no deposit to put down anywhere else. Roberto has started working evenings as a cleaner, 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 $950 goes: • Utilities in arrears: $90 • Late fees and court costs: $80 • Rent arrears (3 months): $780 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support. - Hugo
