Keep a roof over Abigail's head in Los Angeles
After a cut in working hours, Abigail is 4 months behind on rent and has a court summons for non-payment from the landlord.

When my hours were cut in half in May, I fell 4 months behind on rent. Last Thursday a court summons for non-payment was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $2,750.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by July, we must leave.
I've 1 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 extra hours at a market stall, and I'm 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 $2,750 goes:
• Rent arrears (4 months): $1,800
• Late fees and court costs: $175
• Utilities in arrears: $150
• First month of rent as a buffer: $625

Sending good thoughts, Abigail. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. After 28 years in accounting I know how hard it's to ask for anything. God bless.
Thinking of you and your family, Abigail. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. All the best
