Keep a roof over Ian's head in Los Angeles
A long illness left Ian short on rent for 3 months; help us stay in our home.
🇺🇸 Los Angeles, California, United States4,164 views
Following a long illness in the family, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Tuesday a final eviction notice was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $3,300.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by September, we must leave.
I have two young children 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 evenings as a cleaner, 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 $3,300 goes:
• Rent arrears (3 months): $1,950
• Late fees and court costs: $260
• Utilities in arrears: $290
• First month of rent as a buffer: $800
Thanks for reading all this.

Wishing you the best. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. I'm in logistics myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you
Sending love, Ian. Shared it with a few friends. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like.
Keep going, Ian. Your post was clear and honest. I hope September is when things finally get easier.
