Keep a roof over Emilia's head in Aberdeen
A termination letter arrived last week. Emilia needs $950 to clear the arrears and stay housed in Aberdeen.

Following a long illness in the family, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Tuesday a termination letter 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 May, 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 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:
• Utilities in arrears: $180
• Late fees and court costs: $210
• First month of rent as a buffer: $560
Thanks for being kind about this.

Good news. Because of your gifts ($483 in total) I made the first payment toward first month of rent as a buffer. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely. - Emilia

Gave what I could, wish it was more. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Take care
