Keep a roof over Aria's head in London
A car accident left Aria short on rent for 3 months; help us stay in our home.

When my hours were cut in half in January, Aria fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Wednesday a final eviction notice was taped to the door, and the amount owed is $2,750.
The landlord was understanding for a while, but has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by March, the family must leave.
There are 3 children at home. Moving would mean new schools, a new commute and no deposit to put down anywhere else.
Aria 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.
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 $2,750 goes:
• Utilities in arrears: $180
• Rent arrears (3 months): $2,250
• Late fees and court costs: $320

Thank you all. We're at 30% now ($835). I'm honestly stunned. I made the first payment toward rent arrears.
25% there. I made the first payment toward late fees and court costs. Thank you.
Update from London: the first invoice got paid this week. We're at 5% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

Hope it all works out, Melanie. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better.
Sending good thoughts, Melanie. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Blessings.
Take care, Melanie. Shared it with a few friends. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.
