Stop the eviction: 2 months of rent for Amber's family in San Diego
The closure of the factory left Amber short on rent for 2 months; help us stay in our home.

After a sudden layoff at the bakery, I fell 2 months behind on rent. Last Thursday a 10-day notice to quit was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $3,800.
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 toddler and a baby 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.
The money will be paid directly to the landlord and I'll upload the receipt once it's done.
Where the $3,800 goes:
• First month of rent as a buffer: $600
• Rent arrears (2 months): $2,900
• Late fees and court costs: $300
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Wishing you the best, Amber. This could happen to any of us. Thinking of San Diego
Wishing you the best. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. All the best.
thinking of you and your family, Amber. Shared this with my family. Thinking of San Diego
I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. My neighbor in Mansoura donated after I showed her your page. Take care.
Wishing you peace, Amber. Shared it with a few friends
Sending good thoughts, Amber. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. Don't give up
Sending good thoughts, Amber. It takes guts to ask. Well done.
I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Greetings from Pretoria
