Keep a roof over Hudson's head in Tacoma
A court summons for non-payment arrived last week. Hudson needs $2,900 to clear the arrears and stay housed in Tacoma.

After a car accident that kept me from work for 5 weeks, Hudson fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Monday a court summons for non-payment was taped to the door, and the amount owed is $2,900.
The landlord was understanding for a while, but has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by April, 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.
Hudson 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 $2,900 goes:
• Rent arrears (3 months): $1,550
• Late fees and court costs: $180
• Utilities in arrears: $220
• First month of rent as a buffer: $950
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

Updates from Paisley
Quick update: $1,351 raised so far (47%). the plan for late fees and court costs is now scheduled. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.
Wanted to say thank you properly. 18% funded and I made the first payment toward rent arrears.

You're not alone. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. I went through something like this 10 years ago and strangers helped me out. Thinking of Tacoma.
Rooting for you, Paisley. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. Love from Bakersfield.
