Miles received an eviction notice - help us catch up on rent
A final eviction notice arrived last week. Miles needs $4,700 to clear the arrears and stay housed in London.

Following a long illness in the family, Miles fell 2 months behind on rent. Last Saturday a final eviction notice was taped to the door, and the amount owed is $4,700.
The landlord was understanding for a while, but has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by May, the family must leave.
There are a teenager still in school at home. Moving would mean new schools, a new commute and no deposit to put down anywhere else.
Miles has started working night deliveries, and is 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 $4,700 goes:
• Rent arrears (2 months): $3,450
• Late fees and court costs: $350
• Utilities in arrears: $280
• First month of rent as a buffer: $620
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Keep going. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. I'll check back for the next update. All the best
A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. I have a 12 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Love from Mumbai.
You're not alone. Hope this works out for you. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Greetings from Radom
Sending love, Kinsley. This could happen to any of us. My neighbor had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
Thinking of you, Kinsley. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Greetings from Accra
