Stop the eviction: 2 months of rent for Anna's family in Sacramento
A termination letter arrived last week. Anna needs $4,550 to clear the arrears and stay housed in Sacramento.

When the restaurant closed in April, I fell 2 months behind on rent. Last Tuesday a termination letter was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $4,550.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by July, we must leave.
I have two young 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 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 $4,550 goes:
• Late fees and court costs: $410
• Rent arrears (2 months): $3,500
• First month of rent as a buffer: $640
Glad we found this place.

Hope it all works out. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Put this on a community board in Montpellier this morning. Greetings from Montpellier
praying for you, Anna. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money.
Good luck. Looking forward to the next update. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend
Take care, Anna. Gave what I could, wish it was more. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Blessings.
You're not alone, Anna. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Greetings from Thane
Hope things get better soon, Anna. Looking forward to the next update. God bless.
Thanks for sharing this, Anna. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Put this on a community board in San Antonio this morning
This could happen to any of us. I hope July is when things finally get easier
Hope it all works out. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. After 21 years in social work I know how hard it is to ask for anything. Blessings.
Thinking of you and your family, Anna. Looking forward to the next update. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. God bless.
