Keep a roof over Rachel's head in Fresno
The loss of a second income left Rachel short on rent for 3 months; help us stay in our home.

When my hours were cut in half in May, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Thursday a court summons for non-payment was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $1,450.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by September, we must leave.
I have three school-aged 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 night deliveries, and I'm 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 $1,450 goes:
• First month of rent as a buffer: $1,050
• Utilities in arrears: $130
• Late fees and court costs: $270
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Sending strength. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Sent it to 15 people at work. Love from Lagos
shared this with my family. After 23 years in teaching I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
Praying for you, Rachel. I hope things turn around soon. Put this on a community board in Kraków this morning. Thinking of Fresno.
Thinking of you, Rachel. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Love from Kassel.
