Stop the eviction: 3 months of rent for Ángel's family in Brooklyn

After a cut in working hours, Ángel is 3 months behind on rent and has a notice to vacate from the landlord.

Following a long illness in the family, Ángel fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Wednesday a notice to vacate was taped to the door, and the amount owed is $3,100. The landlord was understanding for a while, but has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by May, the family must leave. There are a toddler and a baby at home. Moving would mean new schools, a new commute and no deposit to put down anywhere else. Ángel has started working night deliveries, 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 $3,100 goes: • Rent arrears (3 months): $1,600 • Late fees and court costs: $420 • Utilities in arrears: $270 • First month of rent as a buffer: $810 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to. - Gabriela

    so sorry you're going through this. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. I'll check back for the next update. God bless.

      Hope things get better soon. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I went through something like this 8 years ago and strangers helped me out. Blessings.
