Rekha received an eviction notice - help us catch up on rent
The loss of a second income left Rekha short on rent for 3 months; help us stay in our home.
🇺🇸 Jacksonville, Florida, United States2,611 views
When the call centre closed in August, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Monday a termination letter was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $3,450.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by October, 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.
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 $3,450 goes:
• Rent arrears (3 months): $2,100
• Late fees and court costs: $140
• Utilities in arrears: $210
• First month of rent as a buffer: $1,000
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

So sorry you're going through this, Rekha. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier
take care, Rekha. Looking forward to the next update. I'm in nursing myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. God bless
Praying for you, Rekha. Looking forward to the next update. Don't give up. God bless
Sending love, Rekha. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Greetings from Newcastle
Sending love, Rekha. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did
Good luck. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. After 22 years in customer support I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Love from Granada.
wishing you the best, Rekha. Gave what I could, wish it was more. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it.
best of luck, Rekha. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. God bless.
