Keep a roof over Kai's head in London
A termination letter arrived last week. Kai needs $1,300 to clear the arrears and stay housed in London.

When the warehouse closed in January, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Wednesday a termination letter was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $1,300.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by May, we must leave.
I have a teenager still in school 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 $1,300 goes:
• First month of rent as a buffer: $890
• Utilities in arrears: $230
• Late fees and court costs: $180
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

Wishing you the best, Kai. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Love from Berlin.
