Keep a roof over Robert's head in Sacramento
A final eviction notice arrived last week. Robert needs $3,200 to clear the arrears and stay housed in Sacramento.

When my hours were cut in half in April, I fell 2 months behind on rent. Last Thursday a final eviction notice was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $3,200.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by June, we must leave.
I've 4 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 extra hours at a market stall, and I'm applying for help from local services, but nothing will arrive in time without the rest of the gap covered here.
Funds go to the landlord and nowhere else. Any amount left over after the arrears are cleared will go toward next month's rent.
Where the $3,200 goes:
• Rent arrears (2 months): $1,750
• Late fees and court costs: $250
• Utilities in arrears: $300
• First month of rent as a buffer: $900
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

This could happen to any of us. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Blessings
sending good thoughts, Robert. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Greetings from Bengaluru.
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Robert.
Sure. The biggest one is rent arrears (2 months), $1,750. The rest is in the list at the bottom of the post and I'll upload receipts as I pay each one.
Thinking of you and your family. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. I hope June is when things finally get easier.
Wishing you the best, Robert. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Take care.
stay strong. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Greetings from Shreveport.
Sending strength, Robert. Gave what I could, wish it was more. It's not much but it's yours
You're not alone, Robert. I hope things turn around soon
