Keep a roof over Allison's head in Los Angeles

After the loss of a second income, Allison is 5 months behind on rent and has a court summons for non-payment from the landlord.

Following a long illness in the family, I fell 5 months behind on rent. Last Friday a court summons for non-payment was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $4,100. My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by October, 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. 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 $4,100 goes: • Rent arrears (5 months): $3,000 • Late fees and court costs: $185 • Utilities in arrears: $290 • First month of rent as a buffer: $625 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself. - Allison

    Praying for you, Allison. I hope things turn around soon. After 8 years in engineering I know how hard it's to ask for anything.

    • Stella D. Whitmore

      keep going. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Love from Coyoacán

      • Ratna Hakim

        Best of luck, Allison. Shared this with my family. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Thinking of Los Angeles.

        • Qasim Osama Ibrahim

          Thinking of you and your family. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. I went through something like this 11 years ago and strangers helped me out. Thinking of Los Angeles.

            A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Blessings!
