Leonardo received an eviction notice - help us catch up on rent
A divorce left Leonardo short on rent for 4 months; help us stay in our home.

When the packaging plant closed in September, I fell 4 months behind on rent. Last Monday a notice to vacate was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $2,250.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by November, 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 two part-time jobs, 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 $2,250 goes:
• Rent arrears (4 months): $1,400
• First month of rent as a buffer: $630
• Late fees and court costs: $220
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.
