Keep a roof over Samuel's head in Coventry
A court summons for non-payment arrived last week. Samuel needs $2,650 to clear the arrears and stay housed in Coventry.
🇬🇧 Coventry, England, United Kingdom1,173 views
Following a long illness in the family, Samuel fell 4 months behind on rent. Last Saturday a court summons for non-payment was taped to the door, and the amount owed is $2,650.
The landlord was understanding for a while, but has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by November, the family must leave.
There are 2 children at home. Moving would mean new schools, a new commute and no deposit to put down anywhere else.
Samuel has started working extra hours at a market stall, 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 $2,650 goes:
• First month of rent as a buffer: $750
• Rent arrears (4 months): $1,700
• Late fees and court costs: $200
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.
