Keep a roof over Carolina's head in Cali
A court summons for non-payment arrived last week. Carolina needs $750 to clear the arrears and stay housed in Cali.

When my hours were cut in half in August, Carolina fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Saturday a court summons for non-payment was taped to the door, and the amount owed is $750.
The landlord was understanding for a while, but has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by November, the family must leave.
There are a teenager still in school at home. Moving would mean new schools, a new commute and no deposit to put down anywhere else.
Carolina has started working evenings as a cleaner, and is 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 $750 goes:
• Rent arrears (3 months): $470
• Late fees and court costs: $90
• Utilities in arrears: $35
• First month of rent as a buffer: $155
Thanks for reading all this.
