Stop the eviction: 2 months of rent for David's family in Leicester

A 10-day notice to quit arrived last week. David needs $900 to clear the arrears and stay housed in Leicester.

When the construction firm closed in November, I fell 2 months behind on rent. Last Wednesday a 10-day notice to quit was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $900. 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. The money will be paid directly to the landlord and I'll upload the receipt once it's done. Where the $900 goes: • First month of rent as a buffer: $470 • Late fees and court costs: $230 • Utilities in arrears: $200 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.
