Keep a roof over Susana's head in Flint
A termination letter arrived last week. Susana needs $4,150 to clear the arrears and stay housed in Flint.
🇺🇸 Flint, Michigan, United States1,928 views
Following a long illness in the family, I fell 5 months behind on rent. Last Wednesday a termination letter was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $4,150.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by September, 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 weekend shifts, 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 $4,150 goes:
• Rent arrears (5 months): $2,900
• Late fees and court costs: $270
• Utilities in arrears: $155
• First month of rent as a buffer: $825
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

Thinking of you and your family. I hope things turn around soon. Blessings
Take care, Susana. This could happen to any of us. We're a small family in Auckland but we're thinking of you
Hope it all works out, Susana. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. I'm in construction myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Take care
