Stop the eviction: 2 months of rent for Jackson's family in Bellevue
After a divorce, Jackson is 2 months behind on rent and has a court summons for non-payment from the landlord.

After a sudden layoff at the hotel, Jackson fell 2 months behind on rent. Last Sunday a court summons for non-payment was taped to the door, and the amount owed is $4,150.
The landlord was understanding for a while, but has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by October, the family must leave.
There are a toddler and a baby at home. Moving would mean new schools, a new commute and no deposit to put down anywhere else.
Jackson has started working evenings as a cleaner, and is 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 $4,150 goes:
• First month of rent as a buffer: $660
• Rent arrears (2 months): $3,250
• Utilities in arrears: $240
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

sending love, Christopher. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double
Sending love, Christopher. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Put this on a community board in East London this morning.
