Keep a roof over Henry's head in San Diego

The closure of the factory left Henry short on rent for 3 months; help us stay in our home.

When my hours were cut in half in June, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Thursday a 10-day notice to quit was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $4,250. My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by August, we must leave. I have a teenager still in school 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 weekend shifts, 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 $4,250 goes: • Rent arrears (3 months): $3,050 • Late fees and court costs: $330 • Utilities in arrears: $320 • First month of rent as a buffer: $550 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

    Rooting for you, Henry. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. God bless.

          Thanks for sharing this, Henry. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We're a small family in Newcastle but we're thinking of you

            Sending strength, Henry. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Thinking of San Diego
