Keep a roof over Terry's head in Spokane
The loss of a second income left Terry short on rent for 3 months; help us stay in our home.
🇺🇸 Washington, United States1,246 views
When my hours were cut in half in July, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Saturday a notice to vacate was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $3,000.
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 have a teenager still in school 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 night deliveries, 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 $3,000 goes:
• Rent arrears (3 months): $1,750
• Late fees and court costs: $420
• Utilities in arrears: $270
• First month of rent as a buffer: $560
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.
