After a car accident that kept me from work for 6 weeks, I fell 4 months behind on rent. Last Friday a final eviction notice was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $2,200. 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 three school-aged 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 evenings as a cleaner, 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 $2,200 goes: • Rent arrears (4 months): $1,350 • First month of rent as a buffer: $660 • Utilities in arrears: $190 I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Updates from Sergio

  1. Update from Messina: the plan for first month of rent as a buffer is now scheduled. We're at 27% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

  2. Good news. Because of your gifts ($310 in total) the plan for first month of rent as a buffer is now scheduled. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

  3. Quick update: $205 raised so far (9%). the plan for utilities in arrears is now scheduled. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.
