Keep a roof over Kathleen's head in Dublin
The closure of the factory left Kathleen short on rent for 4 months; help us stay in our home.

After a sudden layoff at the hotel, I fell 4 months behind on rent. Last Saturday a notice to vacate was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $3,700.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by October, we must leave.
I have a toddler and a baby 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.
The money will be paid directly to the landlord and I'll upload the receipt once it's done.
Where the $3,700 goes:
• Rent arrears (4 months): $2,250
• Late fees and court costs: $370
• Utilities in arrears: $300
• First month of rent as a buffer: $780
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

You're not alone, Kathleen. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Love from Gangnam
Thinking of you and your family, Kathleen. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Blessings.
Hope things get better soon, Kathleen. Shared this with my family. My brother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
Praying for you, Kathleen. Shared this with my family. I hope October is when things finally get easier.
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Wish I lived closer to Aurangabad so I could bring a meal.
