Stop the eviction: 3 months of rent for Anand's family in Akron
A court summons for non-payment arrived last week. Anand needs $3,750 to clear the arrears and stay housed in Akron.

When the call centre closed in May, Anand fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Thursday a court summons for non-payment was taped to the door, and the amount owed is $3,750.
The landlord was understanding for a while, but has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by September, the family must leave.
There are three school-aged children at home. Moving would mean new schools, a new commute and no deposit to put down anywhere else.
Anand has started working extra hours at a market stall, and is 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 $3,750 goes:
• Rent arrears (3 months): $2,750
• Late fees and court costs: $250
• Utilities in arrears: $140
• First month of rent as a buffer: $610

So sorry you're going through this. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Sent it to 15 people at work. Greetings from London.
