Isaiah received an eviction notice - help us catch up on rent
After a divorce, Isaiah is 3 months behind on rent and has a court summons for non-payment from the landlord.

After a sudden layoff at the restaurant, Isaiah fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Tuesday a court summons for non-payment was taped to the door, and the amount owed is $1,150.
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.
Isaiah has started working extra hours at a market stall, 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 $1,150 goes:
• Late fees and court costs: $230
• First month of rent as a buffer: $680
• Utilities in arrears: $240
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

so sorry you're going through this. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together.
Thanks for sharing this, Doris. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better
