Stop the eviction: 2 months of rent for Victoria's family in Saint Paul
After the closure of the factory, Victoria is 2 months behind on rent and has a court summons for non-payment from the landlord.

When my hours were cut in half in March, 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 $3,400.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by July, we must leave.
I have two young 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 two part-time jobs, 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 $3,400 goes:
• Rent arrears (2 months): $2,650
• Late fees and court costs: $160
• First month of rent as a buffer: $590
Thank you so much.

Thanks for sharing this, Victoria. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon.
Rooting for you, Victoria. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Take care.
You're not alone. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Don't give up. All the best
Praying for you. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Greetings from Manila
Hang in there. Your post was clear and honest. Put this on a community board in Nairobi this morning.
