Keep a roof over Megan's head in Los Angeles

The loss of a second income left Megan short on rent for 2 months; help us stay in our home.

When my hours were cut in half in January, Megan fell 2 months behind on rent. Last Wednesday a final eviction notice was taped to the door, and the amount owed is $4,500. The landlord was understanding for a while, but has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by April, the family must leave. There are a toddler and a baby at home. Moving would mean new schools, a new commute and no deposit to put down anywhere else. Megan has started working extra hours at a market stall, and is 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 $4,500 goes: • Rent arrears (2 months): $3,000 • Late fees and court costs: $390 • Utilities in arrears: $220 • First month of rent as a buffer: $890 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure. - Angel

  1. Update from Los Angeles: I met with the landlord and confirmed the amounts. We're at 48% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

    Sending good thoughts, Angel. I hope things turn around soon. Don't give up.

      Wishing you the best, Angel. This could happen to any of us. Greetings from Kozhikode.

        Keep going. Shared this with my family. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.

        • Hazel H. Mercado

          Stay strong, Angel. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Don't give up. All the best

          • Lúcia Aparecida Duarte

            So sorry you're going through this, Angel. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did.
