Following a long illness in the family, I fell 2 months behind on rent. Last Tuesday a 10-day notice to quit was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $2,600. My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by August, 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 extra hours at a market stall, 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 $2,600 goes: • Late fees and court costs: $155 • Utilities in arrears: $300 • Rent arrears (2 months): $2,145 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people. - Joseph

Updates from Joseph

  1. Update from Fayetteville: the first invoice got paid this week. We're at 98% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

  2. Good news. Because of your gifts ($1,826 in total) the first invoice got paid this week. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

  3. Wanted to say thank you properly. 16% funded and I made the first payment toward utilities in arrears.

      Good luck, Joseph. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Don't give up.

        Shared it with a few friends. After 11 years in nursing I know how hard it's to ask for anything

        • Aravind E. Namboothiri

          hang in there. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Thinking of Fayetteville.

          • Irene Naliaka Byaruhanga

                thinking of you, Joseph. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like.

                  Looking forward to the next update. We're a small family in Yonkers but we're thinking of you. Love from Yonkers.
