Keep a roof over Emiliano's head in Syracuse
A final eviction notice arrived last week. Emiliano needs $3,850 to clear the arrears and stay housed in Syracuse.

Following a long illness in the family, I fell 4 months behind on rent. Last Saturday a final eviction notice was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $3,850.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by January, 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 $3,850 goes:
• Utilities in arrears: $270
• First month of rent as a buffer: $1,050
• Rent arrears (4 months): $2,530
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

Sending good thoughts. It takes guts to ask. Well done. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Greetings from Stellenbosch.
Wishing you the best. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. Blessings
Good luck. Hope you get there. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too!
thinking of you and your family, Emiliano. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Love from Tokyo.
Thanks for sharing this, Emiliano. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Take care!
Hang in there, Emiliano. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Blessings
Shared this with my family. After 8 years in nursing I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
Hope it all works out, Emiliano. It takes guts to ask. Well done. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like.
Sending good thoughts. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money.
sending strength. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Thinking of Syracuse.
