Help Silvia keep her home - 4 months behind on rent
A divorce left Silvia short on rent for 4 months; help us stay in our home.
🇺🇸 Los Angeles, California, United States5,020 views
After a sudden layoff at the hotel, Silvia fell 4 months behind on rent. Last Friday a 10-day notice to quit was taped to the door, and the amount owed is $3,850.
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 two young children at home. Moving would mean new schools, a new commute and no deposit to put down anywhere else.
Silvia has started working night deliveries, 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 $3,850 goes:
• Rent arrears (4 months): $2,850
• Late fees and court costs: $185
• Utilities in arrears: $175
• First month of rent as a buffer: $640
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

Hope things get better soon, Sebastián. Shared this with my family. Greetings from Warsaw
Best of luck, Sebastián. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. I hope October is when things finally get easier.
Hope it all works out, Sebastián. Looking forward to the next update. I went through something like this 6 years ago and strangers helped me out.
