When's the deadline? Is July firm?
Still July. I'll post here if that changes. Thanks for looking so closely.
I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Blessings
any update on how things are going in Los Angeles?
Slowly but in the right direction, thanks for asking. I'll put up a proper update with receipts soon. Happy to explain more.
Gave what I could, wish it was more. All the best
Who gets the funds, you or the landlord?
It comes to me first, then I pay the landlord myself and upload the receipt. I wouldn't be comfortable any other way. Thanks for asking.
Take care, Sadie. I hope things turn around soon. Greetings from Buenos Aires.
Is rent arrears (4 months) the biggest cost or is there more coming?
The list at the bottom is the whole picture. rent arrears (4 months) is the biggest at $3,000. Good question.
sending strength, Sadie. Looking forward to the next update.
Rooting for you. Shared it with a few friends. After 9 years in retail I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Love from Rabat
can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Los Angeles.
Stay strong. Shared it with a few friends. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Love from Mississauga.
Has the eviction notice been checked by the HelpBLESS team?
I sent the eviction notice in when I posted. I'll upload a redacted copy this week.
Hope it all works out. This could happen to any of us. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like.
Sending good thoughts. I hope things turn around soon. We're a small family in Mumbai but we're thinking of you. Thinking of Los Angeles
you're not alone. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Blessings.
So sorry you're going through this, Sadie. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes!
