Michael received an eviction notice - help us catch up on rent
A cut in working hours left Michael short on rent for 5 months; help us stay in our home.

When the hotel closed in February, I fell 5 months behind on rent. Last Saturday a notice to vacate was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $550.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by May, 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 evenings as a cleaner, and I'm applying for help from local services, but nothing will arrive in time without the rest of the gap covered here.
Funds go to the landlord and nowhere else. Any amount left over after the arrears are cleared will go toward next month's rent.
Where the $550 goes:
• Rent arrears (5 months): $410
• First month of rent as a buffer: $125
• Utilities in arrears: $15
Thank you so much.

can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Awka.
Thank you. If you're in Awka I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. I'll keep the page updated.
Sending strength, Michael. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Put this on a community board in Gwagwalada this morning. Love from Gwagwalada.
Wishing you the best, Michael. Looking forward to the next update. Love from Medellín.
Hope you get there. After 30 years in hospitality I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
This could happen to any of us. I'm in hospitality myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Blessings.
stay strong. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Don't give up. Take care.
