Samira received an eviction notice - help us catch up on rent
A car accident left Samira short on rent for 4 months; help us stay in our home.

Following a long illness in the family, I fell 4 months behind on rent. Last Friday a court summons for non-payment was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $2,850.
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've 1 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 extra hours at a market stall, 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 $2,850 goes:
• Rent arrears (4 months): $1,750
• Late fees and court costs: $310
• Utilities in arrears: $160
• First month of rent as a buffer: $630
Glad we found this place.

You're not alone, Samira. Shared it with a few friends. My neighbor in Hannover donated after I showed her your page. God bless.
Wishing you peace. This could happen to any of us. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Love from Seville.
Hope it all works out, Samira. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. Blessings.
Best of luck. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My neighbor had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. All the best.
