Keep a roof over Easton's head in San Diego

A notice to vacate arrived last week. Easton needs $3,650 to clear the arrears and stay housed in San Diego.

When my hours were cut in half in June, Easton fell 2 months behind on rent. Last Tuesday a notice to vacate was taped to the door, and the amount owed is $3,650. The landlord was understanding for a while, but has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by August, 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. Easton has started working weekend shifts, 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 $3,650 goes: • Rent arrears (2 months): $2,500 • Late fees and court costs: $210 • Utilities in arrears: $195 • First month of rent as a buffer: $745 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it. - Maria

      So sorry you're going through this, Maria. This could happen to any of us. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too.
