A court summons for non-payment arrived last week. Kimberly needs $4,450 to clear the arrears and stay housed in Riverside.

After a sudden layoff at the textile factory, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Sunday a court summons for non-payment was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $4,450.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by October, we must leave.
I have two young 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 extra hours at a market stall, 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 $4,450 goes:
• Rent arrears (3 months): $3,100
• First month of rent as a buffer: $1,100
• Late fees and court costs: $250
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Good luck, Kimberly. Hope this works out for you. Blessings.
Hope this works out for you. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Thinking of Riverside!
Hope it all works out, Kimberly. Shared this with my family. All the best.
best of luck. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Put this on a community board in Mandaue this morning. God bless.
Wishing you the best. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Take care.
Sending love, Kimberly. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I went through something like this 5 years ago and strangers helped me out. Blessings.
