Keep a roof over Denise's head in Philadelphia
A court summons for non-payment arrived last week. Denise needs $2,550 to clear the arrears and stay housed in Philadelphia.
🇺🇸 Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, United States2,840 views
Following a long illness in the family, Denise fell 5 months behind on rent. Last Friday a court summons for non-payment was taped to the door, and the amount owed is $2,550.
The landlord was understanding for a while, but has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by May, the family must leave.
There are two young children at home. Moving would mean new schools, a new commute and no deposit to put down anywhere else.
Denise has started working night deliveries, 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 $2,550 goes:
• Rent arrears (5 months): $1,500
• Utilities in arrears: $185
• First month of rent as a buffer: $865
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

Stay strong, Landon. Hope this works out for you. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Blessings.
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Denise.
Sending love. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend
Thanks for sharing this. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. I hope May is when things finally get easier
Sending strength, Landon. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Thinking of Philadelphia
Take care, Landon. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Love from Gothenburg.
Good luck. Shared this with my family. Put this on a community board in Eindhoven this morning. Thinking of Philadelphia.
