A termination letter arrived last week. Oliver needs $2,600 to clear the arrears and stay housed in Fresno.

After a sudden layoff at the call centre, I fell 2 months behind on rent. Last Wednesday a termination letter was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $2,600. 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 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 $2,600 goes: • Utilities in arrears: $130 • Rent arrears (2 months): $1,850 • First month of rent as a buffer: $620 Every share and every dollar helps. - Oliver
