Los Angeles

Following a long illness in the family, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Wednesday a termination letter was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $2,000. My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by July, 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 two part-time jobs, and I'm applying for help from local services, but nothing will arrive in time without the rest of the gap covered here. Funds go to the landlord and nowhere else. Any amount left over after the arrears are cleared will go toward next month's rent. Where the $2,000 goes: • Late fees and court costs: $220 • Rent arrears (3 months): $1,600 • Utilities in arrears: $180 With deep gratitude, Gabriel

Updates from Gabriel

Update from Los Angeles: the plan for rent arrears is now scheduled. We're at 21% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.
Thank you all. We're at 20% now ($400). I'm honestly stunned. I met with the landlord and confirmed the amounts.
Quick update: $100 raised so far (5%). the plan for late fees and court costs is now scheduled. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.
