Keep a roof over Ethan's head in Anaheim

A court summons for non-payment arrived last week. Ethan needs $3,100 to clear the arrears and stay housed in Anaheim.

After a sudden layoff at the warehouse, I fell 4 months behind on rent. Last Sunday a court summons for non-payment was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $3,100. My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by September, 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 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 $3,100 goes: • Utilities in arrears: $200 • Rent arrears (4 months): $2,650 • Late fees and court costs: $250 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.
