Stop the eviction: 3 months of rent for Anna's family in Greensboro
After a long illness, Anna is 3 months behind on rent and has a final eviction notice from the landlord.
🇺🇸 Greensboro, North Carolina, United States1,750 views
When my hours were cut in half in November, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Friday a final eviction notice was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $2,500.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by January, we must leave.
I have a toddler and a baby 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 weekend shifts, 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 $2,500 goes:
• First month of rent as a buffer: $590
• Rent arrears (3 months): $1,750
• Utilities in arrears: $160
I hope life is good to you.

Updates from Anna
Thank you all. We're at 28% now ($712). I'm honestly stunned. I met with the landlord and confirmed the amounts.

Best of luck. This could happen to any of us. We're a small family in Shubra but we're thinking of you.
Thanks for sharing this. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Don't give up. Thinking of Greensboro.
Rooting for you. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My neighbor in Nashik donated after I showed her your page. Take care
a colleague of mine might know someone for this in North Carolina. I'll ask around and let you know
