Keep a roof over Dylan's head in Newcastle upon Tyne

A delayed insurance payout left Dylan short on rent for 5 months; help us stay in our home.

When my hours were cut in half in May, I fell 5 months behind on rent. Last Thursday a final eviction notice was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $950. My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by July, we must leave. I have a teenager still in school 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. The money will be paid directly to the landlord and I'll upload the receipt once it's done. Where the $950 goes: • Late fees and court costs: $185 • First month of rent as a buffer: $650 • Utilities in arrears: $115 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support. - Dylan

    It takes guts to ask. Well done. Put this on a community board in Bang Khen this morning. All the best.
