Keep a roof over Bithi's head in Leeds
A final eviction notice arrived last week. Bithi needs $2,650 to clear the arrears and stay housed in Leeds.

When the packaging plant closed in January, I fell 4 months behind on rent. Last Saturday a final eviction notice was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $2,650.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by March, 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 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.
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 $2,650 goes:
• Rent arrears (4 months): $1,800
• Late fees and court costs: $270
• Utilities in arrears: $135
• First month of rent as a buffer: $445

Thinking of you, Bithi. Hope you get there
Thanks for sharing this. Shared it with a few friends. Sent it to 29 people at work. Love from London.
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Bithi
Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. rent arrears (4 months) comes first ($1,800) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. Thanks, that means a lot.
it takes guts to ask. Well done. We're a small family in Heraklion but we're thinking of you.
Hang in there, Bithi. Hope this works out for you. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Thinking of Leeds.
You're not alone, Bithi. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. Sent it to 26 people at work. Take care
