Stop the eviction: 2 months of rent for Howard's family in Sacramento

A car accident left Howard short on rent for 2 months; help us stay in our home.

When the packaging plant closed in August, I fell 2 months behind on rent. Last Tuesday a final eviction notice was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $3,950. My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by November, 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 weekend shifts, 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 $3,950 goes: • Rent arrears (2 months): $2,650 • Late fees and court costs: $330 • Utilities in arrears: $310 • First month of rent as a buffer: $660 Glad we found this place. - Howard

    Sending strength, Howard. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. We're a small family in Port Harcourt but we're thinking of you. God bless.
