Keep a roof over Lincoln's head in San Diego

A final eviction notice arrived last week. Lincoln needs $3,400 to clear the arrears and stay housed in San Diego.

When my hours were cut in half in December, I fell 5 months behind on rent. Last Sunday a final eviction notice was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $3,400. My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by March, 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 evenings as a cleaner, 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 $3,400 goes: • Rent arrears (5 months): $1,600 • Late fees and court costs: $330 • Utilities in arrears: $370 • First month of rent as a buffer: $1,100 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support. - Lincoln

Updates from Lincoln

  1. Update from San Diego: I met with the landlord and confirmed the amounts. We're at 11% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

  2. Update from San Diego: I made the first payment toward rent arrears. We're at 4% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

  3. Good news. Because of your gifts ($93 in total) I made the first payment toward first month of rent as a buffer. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
