Lucy received an eviction notice - help us catch up on rent

After the closure of the factory, Lucy is 3 months behind on rent and has a notice to vacate from the landlord.

Following a long illness in the family, Lucy fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Sunday a notice to vacate was taped to the door, and the amount owed is $2,850. 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 two young children at home. Moving would mean new schools, a new commute and no deposit to put down anywhere else. Lucy has started working extra hours at a market stall, 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 $2,850 goes: • Utilities in arrears: $105 • Late fees and court costs: $300 • Rent arrears (3 months): $2,445 Thanks for being kind about this. - Micah
