Help Rose keep her home - 4 months behind on rent

After a cut in working hours, Rose is 4 months behind on rent and has a final eviction notice from the landlord.

When the restaurant closed in August, Rose fell 4 months behind on rent. Last Wednesday a final eviction notice was taped to the door, and the amount owed is $900. 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 three school-aged children at home. Moving would mean new schools, a new commute and no deposit to put down anywhere else. Rose has started working two part-time jobs, 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 $900 goes: • Utilities in arrears: $60 • Rent arrears (4 months): $670 • First month of rent as a buffer: $170 Thanks for reading all this.

    wishing you peace, Apio. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. Wish I lived closer to London so I could bring a meal.
