When the bakery closed in July, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Thursday a court summons for non-payment was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $3,400.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by November, we must leave.
I've 2 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 extra hours at a market stall, 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 $3,400 goes:
• First month of rent as a buffer: $490
• Rent arrears (3 months): $2,700
• Utilities in arrears: $210
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Jameson.
It's all in the list in the story. first month of rent as a buffer is the big one at $490, I'll post a receipt when it's paid. Thanks for asking.
sending strength, Jameson. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I have a 6 year old who wants to send good wishes too.
is there anything that isn't money that would help Jameson?
Thank you. If you're in Sacramento I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. I'll keep the page updated.
Sending strength, Jameson. Looking forward to the next update. All the best.
You're not alone. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Love from Sydney.
hang in there, Jameson. Hope this works out for you. Greetings from Mumbai.
Sending good thoughts, Jameson. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. After 9 years in logistics I know how hard it's to ask for anything. God bless.
Hang in there. Shared it with a few friends. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. All the best.
thanks for sharing this, Jameson. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. I'll check back for the next update
Wishing you the best, Jameson. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My neighbor in Los Angeles donated after I showed her your page
