Keep a roof over Rebecca's head in Sacramento
A sudden layoff left Rebecca short on rent for 3 months; help us stay in our home.
Anywhere in the world2,386 views
Following a long illness in the family, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Monday a notice to vacate was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $3,250.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by November, 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 $3,250 goes:
• Late fees and court costs: $390
• Rent arrears (3 months): $2,200
• First month of rent as a buffer: $660
If you're reading this, thank you.

So sorry you're going through this, Rebecca. Shared it with a few friends. I went through something like this 13 years ago and strangers helped me out. Thinking of Sacramento
sending good thoughts, Rebecca. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier.
keep going, Rebecca. Shared it with a few friends
Thanks for sharing this, Rebecca. Your post was clear and honest. Don't give up. Take care.
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Rebecca!
Late fees and court costs is $390 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. It helps to be asked.
Sending good thoughts, Rebecca. Looking forward to the next update
I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. God bless.

Hope it all works out. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Sent it to 29 people at work
good luck, Rebecca. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My neighbor in Málaga donated after I showed her your page.
Hang in there. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. My cousin had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Thinking of Sacramento.
Sending love, Rebecca. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better.
