Keep a roof over Camille's head in Savannah

A 10-day notice to quit arrived last week. Camille needs $2,800 to clear the arrears and stay housed in Savannah.

When the packaging plant closed in October, Camille fell 5 months behind on rent. Last Saturday a 10-day notice to quit was taped to the door, and the amount owed is $2,800. 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. Camille has started working weekend shifts, 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 $2,800 goes: • Utilities in arrears: $200 • First month of rent as a buffer: $1,000 • Rent arrears (5 months): $1,600 Glad we found this place.
