Stop the eviction: 2 months of rent for Myra's family in Southampton
A court summons for non-payment arrived last week. Myra needs $2,600 to clear the arrears and stay housed in Southampton.

After a sudden layoff at the warehouse, I fell 2 months behind on rent. Last Thursday a court summons for non-payment 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 October, we must leave.
I have a teenager still in school 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.
The money will be paid directly to the landlord and I'll upload the receipt once it's done.
Where the $2,600 goes:
• First month of rent as a buffer: $520
• Utilities in arrears: $185
• Rent arrears (2 months): $1,895

Thank you all. We're at 80% now ($2,086). I'm honestly stunned. I met with the landlord and confirmed the amounts.

Sending love, Myra. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. God bless.
Keep going. Shared it with a few friends. I hope October is when things finally get easier. Take care
rooting for you. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. All the best.
