Stop the eviction: 3 months of rent for Aaron's family in Victoria
The closure of the factory left Aaron short on rent for 3 months; help us stay in our home.

When the restaurant closed in May, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Monday a termination letter was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $3,250.
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 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 evenings as a cleaner, 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 $3,250 goes:
• Rent arrears (3 months): $1,950
• Late fees and court costs: $240
• Utilities in arrears: $145
• First month of rent as a buffer: $915
Thanks for reading all this.

I hope things turn around soon. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Love from Södertälje.
Shared this with my family. I went through something like this 12 years ago and strangers helped me out. All the best
Best of luck. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Love from Kansas City.
Sending strength, Aaron. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Take care.
You're not alone. I hope things turn around soon. Put this on a community board in Coventry this morning. Love from Coventry.
It takes guts to ask. Well done. I hope August is when things finally get easier. Blessings.
So sorry you're going through this, Aaron. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Blessings
Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Love from Thủ Đức!
