Keep a roof over Wesley's head in Anaheim
The loss of a second income left Wesley short on rent for 5 months; help us stay in our home.

After a sudden layoff at the bakery, I fell 5 months behind on rent. Last Thursday a final eviction notice was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $1,550.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by May, 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 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.
The money will be paid directly to the landlord and I'll upload the receipt once it's done.
Where the $1,550 goes:
• Late fees and court costs: $320
• First month of rent as a buffer: $930
• Utilities in arrears: $300
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Hope it all works out, Wesley. Shared this with my family. Thinking of Anaheim.
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Wesley!
Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. late fees and court costs comes first ($320) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. Good question.
A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. Thinking of Anaheim.
stay strong, Wesley. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Thinking of Anaheim.
So sorry you're going through this, Wesley. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. My neighbor had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Greetings from Bandung.
Good luck. Shared it with a few friends. Don't be hard on yourself for asking.
