Keep a roof over Beau's head in Mesa

A 10-day notice to quit arrived last week. Beau needs $3,900 to clear the arrears and stay housed in Mesa.

After a car accident that kept me from work for 10 weeks, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Sunday a 10-day notice to quit was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $3,900. My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by November, we must leave. I have three school-aged children 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 extra hours at a market stall, 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 $3,900 goes: • Late fees and court costs: $155 • Rent arrears (3 months): $3,550 • Utilities in arrears: $195 I hope life is good to you.

Updates from Beau

  1. Small update. $380 so far, we've booked the dates and paid the deposit.

  2. Quick update: $230 raised so far (6%). the plan for rent arrears is now scheduled. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.

  3. Thank you all. We're at 4% now ($150). I'm honestly stunned. the first invoice got paid this week.
