Keep a roof over Rylee's head in Akron
A cut in working hours left Rylee short on rent for 3 months; help us stay in our home.

When the restaurant closed in January, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Monday a termination letter was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $900.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by April, we must leave.
I've 3 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 two part-time jobs, 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 $900 goes:
• First month of rent as a buffer: $590
• Utilities in arrears: $125
• Late fees and court costs: $185
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Updates from Rylee
Quick update: $175 raised so far (19%). the plan for first month of rent as a buffer is now scheduled. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.
Good news. Because of your gifts ($45 in total) I made the first payment toward first month of rent as a buffer. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

Praying for you. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Thinking of Akron.
Thinking of you, Rylee. Gave what I could, wish it was more.
Shared this with my family. I'll check back for the next update. Greetings from Lahore.
