Keep a roof over Ángel's head in Dayton

A termination letter arrived last week. Ángel needs $5,150 to clear the arrears and stay housed in Dayton.

Following a long illness in the family, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Wednesday a termination letter was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $5,150. My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by June, we must leave. I have a toddler and a baby 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 two part-time jobs, 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 $5,150 goes: • Rent arrears (3 months): $3,950 • Late fees and court costs: $390 • Utilities in arrears: $240 • First month of rent as a buffer: $570 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support. - Ángel

Updates from Ángel

  1. Good news. Because of your gifts ($403 in total) the plan for first month of rent as a buffer is now scheduled. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

    • Kevin Brian Mwangi

      Sending strength, Ángel. Shared this with my family. All the best.

        Hope you get there. After 18 years in public service I know how hard it's to ask for anything.

          Sending strength, Ángel. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. Put this on a community board in Ekurhuleni this morning. Greetings from Ekurhuleni

            Hang in there. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. I went through something like this 5 years ago and strangers helped me out. Love from Angeles.

              so sorry you're going through this, Ángel. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Take care.
