Keep a roof over Lucas's head in Auckland

A final eviction notice arrived last week. Lucas needs $4,300 to clear the arrears and stay housed in Auckland.

After a sudden layoff at the hotel, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Wednesday a final eviction notice was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $4,300. My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by June, we must leave. I have three school-aged 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 $4,300 goes: • Rent arrears (3 months): $3,300 • First month of rent as a buffer: $850 • Late fees and court costs: $150 Glad we found this place. - Lucas

            Hope it all works out, Lucas. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. God bless.
