Keep a roof over Levi's head in San Diego

A cut in working hours left Levi short on rent for 2 months; help us stay in our home.

When my hours were cut in half in July, I fell 2 months behind on rent. Last Saturday a final eviction notice was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $3,800. 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 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 $3,800 goes: • Rent arrears (2 months): $2,450 • Late fees and court costs: $240 • Utilities in arrears: $270 • First month of rent as a buffer: $840 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly. - Levi

    Hang in there. Your post was clear and honest. Love from Pune.

      Hope it all works out. 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. God bless.
