Keep a roof over Alexa's head in Lowell

A court summons for non-payment arrived last week. Alexa needs $3,250 to clear the arrears and stay housed in Lowell.

Lowell
When the packaging plant closed in April, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Saturday a court summons for non-payment was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $3,250. My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by August, 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 night deliveries, 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 $3,250 goes: • Rent arrears (3 months): $1,900 • Late fees and court costs: $360 • Utilities in arrears: $330 • First month of rent as a buffer: $660 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

    Sending good thoughts, Alexa. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Take care

        Rooting for you, Alexa. I hope things turn around soon. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Thinking of Lowell

        • Si-woo Min-ho Cha

          You're not alone, Alexa. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Love from Łódź.

          • Mercy A. Salvador

            thinking of you and your family. Hope you get there. After 23 years in retail I know how hard it's to ask for anything!

              Looking forward to the next update. My sister had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. God bless
