Stop the eviction: 2 months of rent for Bruno's family in Toledo
After the closure of the factory, Bruno is 2 months behind on rent and has a notice to vacate from the landlord.

Following a long illness in the family, I fell 2 months behind on rent. Last Friday a notice to vacate was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $2,700.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by March, 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 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 $2,700 goes:
• Rent arrears (2 months): $1,850
• Utilities in arrears: $310
• First month of rent as a buffer: $540
Thanks for being kind about this.

Updates from Bruno
Good news. Because of your gifts ($1,106 in total) I made the first payment toward rent arrears. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
We're at 26% thanks to 12 of you. I met with the landlord and confirmed the amounts. More news soon.
Small update. $390 so far, I made the first payment toward rent arrears.

A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. Don't be hard on yourself for asking
Thinking of you and your family, Bruno. I hope things turn around soon
Gave what I could, wish it was more. Sent it to 22 people at work. Greetings from Santa Fe.
Sending good thoughts. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We're a small family in Gaziantep but we're thinking of you. Greetings from Gaziantep.
Hope it all works out. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. God bless
Hope you get there. Love from Seoul.
