After a car accident that kept me from work for 12 weeks, Usman fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Sunday a final eviction notice was taped to the door, and the amount owed is $500. 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. Usman 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 $500 goes: • Late fees and court costs: $35 • Rent arrears (3 months): $460 • Utilities in arrears: $5 Glad we found this place. - Hauwa

Thank you all. We're at 86% now ($429). I'm honestly stunned. I made the first payment toward late fees and court costs.
Wanted to say thank you properly. 56% funded and the plan for utilities in arrears is now scheduled.
Good news. Because of your gifts ($440 in total) we've started the first stage. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
