Keep a roof over Elijah's head in Macon
A notice to vacate arrived last week. Elijah needs $4,000 to clear the arrears and stay housed in Macon.
🇺🇸 United States4,007 views
After a car accident that kept me from work for 7 weeks, I fell 2 months behind on rent. Last Sunday a notice to vacate 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 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 evenings as a cleaner, 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 $4,000 goes:
• Late fees and court costs: $200
• Rent arrears (2 months): $3,500
• Utilities in arrears: $300
With deep gratitude,
Elijah

any update on how things are going in Macon?
So sorry you're going through this, Elijah. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. I'm in farming myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. God bless
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Elijah.
Late fees and court costs is $200 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Happy to explain more.
wishing you peace, Elijah. Looking forward to the next update. Take care
gave what I could, wish it was more. Thinking of Macon.
good luck, Elijah. Shared this with my family
Hope things get better soon, Elijah. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Take care.
Rooting for you, Elijah. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. Wish I lived closer to Casablanca so I could bring a meal. All the best
