Keep a roof over Alyssa's head in Brooklyn
A termination letter arrived last week. Alyssa needs $4,050 to clear the arrears and stay housed in Brooklyn.

When the textile factory closed in October, Alyssa fell 2 months behind on rent. Last Monday a termination letter was taped to the door, and the amount owed is $4,050.
The landlord was understanding for a while, but has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by January, the family must leave.
There are a teenager still in school at home. Moving would mean new schools, a new commute and no deposit to put down anywhere else.
Alyssa has started working extra hours at a market stall, and is 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 $4,050 goes:
• First month of rent as a buffer: $850
• Utilities in arrears: $160
• Rent arrears (2 months): $3,040
Every share and every dollar helps.

Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Thinking of Brooklyn.
I hope things turn around soon. Greetings from Toronto
praying for you. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Love from Nakhon Ratchasima
