Luis received an eviction notice - help us catch up on rent
A final eviction notice arrived last week. Luis needs $1,400 to clear the arrears and stay housed in Birmingham.

When the textile factory closed in April, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Tuesday a final eviction notice was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $1,400.
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've 3 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 night deliveries, 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 $1,400 goes:
• Utilities in arrears: $290
• First month of rent as a buffer: $890
• Late fees and court costs: $220
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Praying for you, Luis. Hope this works out for you. Wish I lived closer to Kilkenny so I could bring a meal.
Stay strong, Luis. This could happen to any of us. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. All the best
Take care, Luis. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. After 10 years in teaching I know how hard it's to ask for anything. God bless.
hope things get better soon, Luis. Shared it with a few friends. I have a 12 year old who wants to send good wishes too. God bless.
your post was clear and honest. Sent it to 26 people at work. Greetings from Multan
