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

After a car accident, Onyango is 5 months behind on rent and has a final eviction notice from the landlord.

When the warehouse closed in May, I fell 5 months behind on rent. Last Monday a final eviction notice was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $200. My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by August, 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 two part-time jobs, 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 $200 goes: • Late fees and court costs: $40 • Utilities in arrears: $25 • First month of rent as a buffer: $135 Thank you for reading my story.

    Best of luck. Shared it with a few friends. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too.
