After a sudden layoff at the warehouse, Rahma fell 5 months behind on rent. Last Tuesday a 10-day notice to quit was taped to the door, and the amount owed is $2,600. The landlord was understanding for a while, but has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by August, the family must leave. There are a toddler and a baby at home. Moving would mean new schools, a new commute and no deposit to put down anywhere else. Rahma has started working evenings as a cleaner, 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 $2,600 goes: • Rent arrears (5 months): $1,950 • Late fees and court costs: $90 • Utilities in arrears: $165 • First month of rent as a buffer: $395 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself. - Dina

  • So sorry you're going through this, Dina. Shared it with a few friends.

    • You're not alone, Dina. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. God bless.
