Stop the eviction: 2 months of rent for Lorenzo's family in Sacramento
The loss of a second income left Lorenzo short on rent for 2 months; help us stay in our home.

After a car accident that kept me from work for 10 weeks, I fell 2 months behind on rent. Last Friday a final eviction notice was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $4,550.
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 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 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 $4,550 goes:
• Late fees and court costs: $260
• Rent arrears (2 months): $3,250
• First month of rent as a buffer: $1,040
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.
