Keep a roof over Dennis's head in Coventry
A court summons for non-payment arrived last week. Dennis needs $1,250 to clear the arrears and stay housed in Coventry.

Following a long illness in the family, I fell 2 months behind on rent. Last Friday a court summons for non-payment was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $1,250.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by October, 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 extra hours at a market stall, and I'm 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 $1,250 goes:
• Late fees and court costs: $105
• First month of rent as a buffer: $790
• Utilities in arrears: $355
I hope life is good to you.

hang in there. 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 Coventry.
Hope things get better soon, Dennis. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My brother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Blessings.
Stay strong, Dennis. Shared this with my family. God bless.

Hang in there, Dennis. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. Thinking of Coventry.
hope it all works out. Shared it with a few friends. My neighbor in Limoges donated after I showed her your page. All the best
Keep going, Dennis. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. My cousin had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Greetings from George
