Stop the eviction: 2 months of rent for Landon's family in Philadelphia
A divorce left Landon short on rent for 2 months; help us stay in our home.

When my hours were cut in half in February, I fell 2 months behind on rent. Last Saturday a court summons for non-payment was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $3,850.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by May, 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 $3,850 goes:
• Rent arrears (2 months): $2,500
• Late fees and court costs: $310
• Utilities in arrears: $310
• First month of rent as a buffer: $730
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

Keep going, Landon. Looking forward to the next update. After 20 years in social work I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
Sending strength, Landon. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. All the best.
hope things get better soon, Landon. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon.
