Keep a roof over Miles's head in Yonkers
After a cut in working hours, Miles is 2 months behind on rent and has a final eviction notice from the landlord.
🇺🇸 Yonkers, New York, United States1,814 views
After a sudden layoff at the packaging plant, Miles fell 2 months behind on rent. Last Thursday a final eviction notice was taped to the door, and the amount owed is $2,350.
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 two young children at home. Moving would mean new schools, a new commute and no deposit to put down anywhere else.
Miles 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 $2,350 goes:
• Utilities in arrears: $200
• Rent arrears (2 months): $1,900
• Late fees and court costs: $250
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Take care. This could happen to any of us. My neighbor in Durban donated after I showed her your page.

Take care, Jacob. I hope things turn around soon. My colleague had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Thinking of Yonkers.
Thanks for sharing this, Jacob. Shared it with a few friends. I have a 13 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Love from İzmir!
