Keep a roof over Addison's head in London
A court summons for non-payment arrived last week. Addison needs $2,550 to clear the arrears and stay housed in London.

After a sudden layoff at the bakery, I fell 4 months behind on rent. Last Friday a court summons for non-payment was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $2,550.
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 have two young 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 weekend shifts, 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 $2,550 goes:
• Utilities in arrears: $190
• Rent arrears (4 months): $2,000
• Late fees and court costs: $360
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.
