Keep a roof over Herman's head in Los Angeles

After a car accident that kept me from work for 10 weeks, Herman fell 2 months behind on rent. Last Friday a notice to vacate was taped to the door, and the amount owed is $3,150. The landlord was understanding for a while, but has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by March, the family must leave. There are 1 children at home. Moving would mean new schools, a new commute and no deposit to put down anywhere else. Herman has started working evenings as a cleaner, 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 $3,150 goes: • First month of rent as a buffer: $1,050 • Utilities in arrears: $310 • Rent arrears (2 months): $1,790 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.
