Keep a roof over Shweta's head in Los Angeles
A delayed insurance payout left Shweta short on rent for 3 months; help us stay in our home.
🇺🇸 United States3,026 views
After a sudden layoff at the hotel, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Thursday a 10-day notice to quit was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $1,450.
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'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 evenings as a cleaner, 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 $1,450 goes:
• Utilities in arrears: $250
• First month of rent as a buffer: $940
• Late fees and court costs: $260
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

Take care, Shweta. Hope this works out for you. All the best.
Good luck, Shweta. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Wish I lived closer to Rockford so I could bring a meal.
Thinking of you, Shweta. Your post was clear and honest.
Wishing you the best, Shweta. I hope things turn around soon. My husband and I read this together. Love from Guadalajara.
