A termination letter arrived last week. Leo needs $3,250 to clear the arrears and stay housed in London.

When my hours were cut in half in June, I fell 5 months behind on rent. Last Saturday a termination letter was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $3,250.
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 $3,250 goes:
• Late fees and court costs: $250
• First month of rent as a buffer: $620
• Rent arrears (5 months): $2,380
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Update from London: I met with the landlord and confirmed the amounts. We're at 72% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.
We're at 35% thanks to 27 of you. I made the first payment toward late fees and court costs. More news soon.

hope things get better soon, Leo. Hope this works out for you. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Take care.
thinking of you. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. All the best
Hang in there. Hope you get there. Put this on a community board in Sheffield this morning. Greetings from Sheffield
