Keep a roof over Aria's head in Augusta
A long illness left Aria short on rent for 5 months; help us stay in our home.
🇺🇸 United States1,212 views
Following a long illness in the family, Aria fell 5 months behind on rent. Last Thursday a court summons for non-payment was taped to the door, and the amount owed is $1,700.
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 toddler and a baby at home. Moving would mean new schools, a new commute and no deposit to put down anywhere else.
Aria has started working night deliveries, and is 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 $1,700 goes:
• Late fees and court costs: $420
• Utilities in arrears: $340
• First month of rent as a buffer: $940
With deep gratitude,
Thomas

Sending good thoughts, Thomas. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I hope December is when things finally get easier. Blessings.
hang in there, Thomas. Hope you get there. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.
