Meena received an eviction notice - help us catch up on rent
The closure of the factory left Meena short on rent for 4 months; help us stay in our home.

When my hours were cut in half in June, I fell 4 months behind on rent. Last Saturday a notice to vacate was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $400.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by September, we must leave.
I have a teenager still in school 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 $400 goes:
• Rent arrears (4 months): $230
• Late fees and court costs: $30
• Utilities in arrears: $25
• First month of rent as a buffer: $115
Thank you so much.

Hope things get better soon. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Love from Birmingham.
Sending love, Meena. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Take care.
Gave what I could, wish it was more. After 8 years in retail I know how hard it is to ask for anything. All the best.
Thinking of you and your family. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps
Best of luck. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. All the best.
