After a sudden layoff at the warehouse, I fell 5 months behind on rent. Last Friday a court summons for non-payment was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $2,950. My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by August, 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 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. 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 $2,950 goes: • Rent arrears (5 months): $1,800 • Late fees and court costs: $240 • Utilities in arrears: $280 • First month of rent as a buffer: $630 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Updates from Kennedy

  1. Small update. $850 so far, the plan for first month of rent as a buffer is now scheduled.

  2. Quick update: $740 raised so far (25%). the plan for late fees and court costs is now scheduled. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.

  3. Thank you all. We're at 5% now ($156). I'm honestly stunned. we've started the first stage.
