Keep a roof over Adeline's head in San Diego
A sudden layoff left Adeline short on rent for 4 months; help us stay in our home.
🇺🇸 California, United States1,397 views
After a sudden layoff at the construction firm, 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 $2,500.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by May, 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 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.
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 $2,500 goes:
• Utilities in arrears: $200
• Late fees and court costs: $410
• Rent arrears (4 months): $1,890

Wishing you the best, Adeline. Looking forward to the next update. Blessings.
best of luck. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I have a 11 year old who wants to send good wishes too.
Hope things get better soon, Adeline. This could happen to any of us
wishing you the best, Adeline. I hope things turn around soon. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double
Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Love from Guadalupe
Rooting for you, Adeline. I hope things turn around soon. I have a 7 year old who wants to send good wishes too. God bless.
Take care. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Wish I lived closer to Jinja so I could bring a meal. Take care.
Thinking of you, Adeline. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Blessings.
praying for you, Adeline. Shared this with my family. Greetings from Ciudad de México
your post was clear and honest. It's not much but it's yours. Love from Coatzacoalcos.
Sending love. Shared it with a few friends. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry!
