Keep a roof over Greyson's head in New York
After a sudden layoff, Greyson is 2 months behind on rent and has a final eviction notice from the landlord.

Following a long illness in the family, I fell 2 months behind on rent. Last Sunday a final eviction notice was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $3,500.
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 a toddler and a baby 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 $3,500 goes:
• Rent arrears (2 months): $2,300
• Late fees and court costs: $310
• Utilities in arrears: $180
• First month of rent as a buffer: $710
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

So sorry you're going through this, Greyson. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. My neighbor in Leicester donated after I showed her your page. Love from Leicester.
keep going, Greyson. I hope things turn around soon. Blessings.
best of luck. I hope things turn around soon. Put this on a community board in Manila this morning
I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. We're a small family in București but we're thinking of you. All the best
Good luck, Greyson. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon.
