Keep a roof over Kinsley's head in Sacramento
A divorce left Kinsley short on rent for 4 months; help us stay in our home.
🇺🇸 Sacramento, California, United States1,766 views
When the textile factory closed in October, I fell 4 months behind on rent. Last Sunday a 10-day notice to quit was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $3,750.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by December, we must leave.
I have two young 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 night deliveries, 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 $3,750 goes:
• Rent arrears (4 months): $2,350
• Late fees and court costs: $400
• Utilities in arrears: $370
• First month of rent as a buffer: $630
With deep gratitude,
Kinsley

hope things get better soon. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I'm in nursing myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Love from Lagos.
is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Kinsley.
Good luck, Kinsley. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps
Is there anything that isn't money that would help Kinsley?
Thank you. If you're in Sacramento I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Ask me anything else.

you're not alone, Kinsley. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Take care.
good luck, Kinsley. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I went through something like this 12 years ago and strangers helped me out.
Hope things get better soon, Kinsley. Shared this with my family
Wishing you peace, Kinsley. Shared it with a few friends. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.
this could happen to any of us. Thinking of Sacramento
Thanks for sharing this. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. My neighbor in Latina donated after I showed her your page.
