Keep a roof over Ivy's head in Leeds

When my hours were cut in half in September, Ivy fell 4 months behind on rent. Last Tuesday a final eviction notice was taped to the door, and the amount owed is $3,450. The landlord was understanding for a while, but has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by December, the family must leave. There are a toddler and a baby at home. Moving would mean new schools, a new commute and no deposit to put down anywhere else. Ivy 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. The money will be paid directly to the landlord and I'll upload the receipt once it's done. Where the $3,450 goes: • Utilities in arrears: $260 • Rent arrears (4 months): $2,400 • First month of rent as a buffer: $790 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.
