Keep a roof over Paula's head in Flint
A cut in working hours left Paula short on rent for 3 months; help us stay in our home.

After a car accident that kept me from work for 12 weeks, Paula fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Thursday a final eviction notice was taped to the door, and the amount owed is $4,350.
The landlord was understanding for a while, but has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by October, 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.
Paula 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 $4,350 goes:
• First month of rent as a buffer: $770
• Rent arrears (3 months): $3,400
• Utilities in arrears: $180
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Thinking of you. Your post was clear and honest. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Thinking of Flint.
thinking of you, Eduardo. This could happen to any of us.
Hope things get better soon, Eduardo. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I went through something like this 2 years ago and strangers helped me out. Take care
