Malsha received an eviction notice - help us catch up on rent
A long illness left Malsha short on rent for 3 months; help us stay in our home.

When the warehouse closed in September, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Thursday a final eviction notice was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $200.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by December, we must leave.
I've 1 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 $200 goes:
• First month of rent as a buffer: $115
• Utilities in arrears: $40
• Late fees and court costs: $45
Thank you for reading my story.
