Keep a roof over Harper's head in Worcester

A court summons for non-payment arrived last week. Harper needs $1,600 to clear the arrears and stay housed in Worcester.

After a sudden layoff at the textile factory, Harper fell 4 months behind on rent. Last Saturday a court summons for non-payment was taped to the door, and the amount owed is $1,600. The landlord was understanding for a while, but has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by August, the family must leave. There are a teenager still in school at home. Moving would mean new schools, a new commute and no deposit to put down anywhere else. Harper has started working two part-time jobs, and is 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 $1,600 goes: • Utilities in arrears: $280 • Late fees and court costs: $280 • First month of rent as a buffer: $1,040 Thank you for reading my story.

  • Hang in there, Annabelle. Shared it with a few friends. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.

    • shared this with my family. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like

            • Rooting for you, Annabelle. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Love from Guarulhos.
