Keep a roof over Denise's head in Springfield
The loss of a second income left Denise short on rent for 2 months; help us stay in our home.
🇺🇸 Springfield, Missouri, United States2,657 views
After a sudden layoff at the hotel, I fell 2 months behind on rent. Last Thursday a 10-day notice to quit was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $4,050.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by December, we must leave.
I have three school-aged children at home. Moving isn't just an expense - it would mean new schools, a new commute and no deposit to put down anywhere else.
I have started working weekend shifts, and I'm 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 $4,050 goes:
• Rent arrears (2 months): $2,500
• Late fees and court costs: $400
• Utilities in arrears: $185
• First month of rent as a buffer: $965
Every share and every dollar helps.

sending good thoughts, Denise. It takes guts to ask. Well done. God bless
Praying for you, Denise. Your post was clear and honest. My husband and I read this together. All the best
Best of luck. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I went through something like this 10 years ago and strangers helped me out. Thinking of Springfield.
Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Thinking of Springfield
Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Thinking of Springfield.
Shared it with a few friends. Greetings from Mukono.
Wishing you the best, Denise. Hope you get there. I'll check back for the next update. Greetings from Mekelle.
Sending love, Denise. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. Sent it to 10 people at work. God bless.
Rooting for you. Shared this with my family. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. God bless
Sending love, Denise. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Love from Odesa.
Best of luck, Denise. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.
I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. My cousin had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. God bless.
