Keep a roof over Raymond's head in Tallahassee

A divorce left Raymond short on rent for 4 months; help us stay in our home.

When the bakery closed in November, Raymond fell 4 months behind on rent. Last Saturday a notice to vacate was taped to the door, and the amount owed is $2,700. The landlord was understanding for a while, but has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by March, the family must leave. There are a teenager still in school at home. Moving would mean new schools, a new commute and no deposit to put down anywhere else. Raymond has started working two part-time jobs, 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 $2,700 goes: • First month of rent as a buffer: $630 • Rent arrears (4 months): $1,800 • Utilities in arrears: $270 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly. - Natalie
