Keep a roof over Natalia's head in San Francisco
A delayed insurance payout left Natalia short on rent for 2 months; help us stay in our home.

After a car accident that kept me from work for 6 weeks, I fell 2 months behind on rent. Last Saturday a 10-day notice to quit was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $4,450.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by January, we must leave.
I've 2 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 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.
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 $4,450 goes:
• First month of rent as a buffer: $670
• Late fees and court costs: $270
• Rent arrears (2 months): $3,510
Glad we found this place.

So sorry you're going through this, Natalia. Hope you get there. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Take care.
Thinking of you, Natalia. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Thinking of San Francisco.
Best of luck, Natalia. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Wish I lived closer to Lahore so I could bring a meal. All the best
sending good thoughts, Natalia. It takes guts to ask. Well done. After 19 years in construction I know how hard it's to ask for anything
Wishing you peace, Natalia. Your post was clear and honest. God bless.
Take care, Natalia. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Greetings from Aurangabad.
Sending good thoughts, Natalia. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My colleague had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
