Keep a roof over Mei's head in Ann Arbor
A final eviction notice arrived last week. Mei needs $3,800 to clear the arrears and stay housed in Ann Arbor.

When my hours were cut in half in April, Mei fell 5 months behind on rent. Last Thursday a final eviction notice was taped to the door, and the amount owed is $3,800.
The landlord was understanding for a while, but has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by July, the family must leave.
There are 1 children at home. Moving would mean new schools, a new commute and no deposit to put down anywhere else.
Mei has started working night deliveries, and is 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 (5 months): $2,400
• Late fees and court costs: $350
• Utilities in arrears: $210
• First month of rent as a buffer: $840
Glad we found this place.

Rooting for you, Hang. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Take care.
Thinking of you and your family, Hang. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Don't be hard on yourself for asking.
Sending love, Hang. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Thinking of Ann Arbor.
