Keep a roof over Amber's head in London

A notice to vacate arrived last week. Amber needs $2,850 to clear the arrears and stay housed in London.

Following a long illness in the family, Amber fell 5 months behind on rent. Last Wednesday a notice to vacate was taped to the door, and the amount owed is $2,850. The landlord was understanding for a while, but has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by December, 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. Amber has started working two part-time jobs, 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 $2,850 goes: • Rent arrears (5 months): $1,450 • Late fees and court costs: $250 • Utilities in arrears: $250 • First month of rent as a buffer: $900 With deep gratitude, Alyssa

Updates from Alyssa

  1. Quick update: $374 raised so far (13%). I met with the landlord and confirmed the amounts. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.

  2. Thank you all. We're at 5% now ($141). I'm honestly stunned. I made the first payment toward late fees and court costs.
