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

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

When the warehouse closed in July, I fell 4 months behind on rent. Last Friday 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 three school-aged 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 weekend shifts, 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 $3,250 goes: • Rent arrears (4 months): $2,200 • Late fees and court costs: $200 • Utilities in arrears: $200 • First month of rent as a buffer: $650 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.
