Keep a roof over Claudia's head in Bronx
The loss of a second income left Claudia short on rent for 3 months; help us stay in our home.
🇺🇸 United States1,246 views
Following a long illness in the family, Claudia fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Sunday a final eviction notice was taped to the door, and the amount owed is $2,700.
The landlord was understanding for a while, but has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by January, 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.
Claudia 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 $2,700 goes:
• Rent arrears (3 months): $1,450
• Late fees and court costs: $200
• Utilities in arrears: $160
• First month of rent as a buffer: $890
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

So sorry you're going through this, Adriana. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. God bless.
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Claudia.
Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. rent arrears (3 months) comes first ($1,450) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. Good question.
You're not alone, Adriana. Hope this works out for you. We're a small family in Addis Ababa but we're thinking of you. Greetings from Addis Ababa
Thanks for sharing this, Adriana. Looking forward to the next update.
Sending good thoughts. I hope things turn around soon. God bless.
Good luck, Adriana. Shared this with my family. My husband and I read this together. All the best.
