Keep a roof over Zoe's head in Spokane
After a long illness, Zoe is 2 months behind on rent and has a notice to vacate from the landlord.
🇺🇸 Washington, United States3,102 views
After a car accident that kept me from work for 5 weeks, Zoe fell 2 months behind on rent. Last Wednesday a notice to vacate was taped to the door, and the amount owed is $4,050.
The landlord was understanding for a while, but has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by October, the family must leave.
There are 4 children at home. Moving would mean new schools, a new commute and no deposit to put down anywhere else.
Zoe has started working two part-time jobs, 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 $4,050 goes:
• Rent arrears (2 months): $2,500
• Late fees and court costs: $400
• Utilities in arrears: $160
• First month of rent as a buffer: $990
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.
