Keep a roof over Itzel's head in La Plata

A delayed insurance payout left Itzel short on rent for 2 months; help us stay in our home.

La Plata
When my hours were cut in half in June, I fell 2 months behind on rent. Last Monday a court summons for non-payment was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $850. 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've 3 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 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. 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 $850 goes: • Rent arrears (2 months): $560 • Late fees and court costs: $85 • Utilities in arrears: $70 • First month of rent as a buffer: $135 Glad we found this place.

Updates from Itzel

  1. Thank you all. We're at 64% now ($545). I'm honestly stunned. we've started the first stage.

  2. Small update. $430 so far, the plan for late fees and court costs is now scheduled.

  3. Good news. Because of your gifts ($230 in total) the first invoice got paid this week. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
