Keep a roof over Joshua's head in Leeds
A sudden layoff left Joshua short on rent for 3 months; help us stay in our home.

After a sudden layoff at the hotel, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Tuesday a 10-day notice to quit was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $2,800.
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 1 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 two part-time jobs, 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 $2,800 goes:
• Late fees and court costs: $125
• Utilities in arrears: $190
• Rent arrears (3 months): $2,485
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.
