Yonkers
After a car accident that kept me from work for 12 weeks, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Saturday a notice to vacate was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $4,600. My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by December, we must leave. I have three school-aged children at home. Moving isn't just an expense - it would mean new schools, a new commute and no deposit to put down anywhere else. I have started working evenings as a cleaner, and I'm 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 $4,600 goes: • Rent arrears (3 months): $2,900 • Late fees and court costs: $230 • Utilities in arrears: $340 • First month of rent as a buffer: $1,130 I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen. - Ivy

Updates from Ivy

  1. Good news. Because of your gifts ($3,441 in total) I made the first payment toward first month of rent as a buffer. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

  2. Good news. Because of your gifts ($781 in total) the plan for rent arrears is now scheduled. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

  3. Update from Yonkers: the plan for rent arrears is now scheduled. We're at 38% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

          Sending strength. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Thinking of Yonkers.
