London

When the hotel closed in May, I fell 4 months behind on rent. Last Friday a court summons for non-payment was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $4,000. My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by August, we must leave. I have two young 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 two part-time jobs, 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 $4,000 goes: • Rent arrears (4 months): $3,150 • Late fees and court costs: $110 • Utilities in arrears: $250 • First month of rent as a buffer: $490 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Perfect example of someone making a real difference. They took time out of their busy schedule to help me and never made me feel like a burden.
