Help Zoey keep her home - 4 months behind on rent
A 10-day notice to quit arrived last week. Zoey needs $4,500 to clear the arrears and stay housed in Greensboro.

After a car accident that kept me from work for 7 weeks, Zoey fell 4 months behind on rent. Last Saturday a 10-day notice to quit was taped to the door, and the amount owed is $4,500.
The landlord was understanding for a while, but has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by April, 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.
Zoey 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.
Funds go to the landlord and nowhere else. Any amount left over after the arrears are cleared will go toward next month's rent.
Where the $4,500 goes:
• Rent arrears (4 months): $3,350
• Late fees and court costs: $360
• Utilities in arrears: $210
• First month of rent as a buffer: $580
Every share and every dollar helps.

Sending love. Shared it with a few friends. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Thinking of Greensboro.
So sorry you're going through this, Shawn. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon.
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I went through something like this 3 years ago and strangers helped me out. All the best.
I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Greetings from Akron.
sending good thoughts, Shawn. Shared this with my family
