Stop the eviction: 3 months of rent for Annabelle's family in Manchester

A court summons for non-payment arrived last week. Annabelle needs $3,050 to clear the arrears and stay housed in Manchester.

Following a long illness in the family, Annabelle fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Friday a court summons for non-payment was taped to the door, and the amount owed is $3,050. The landlord was understanding for a while, but has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by June, 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. Annabelle 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 $3,050 goes: • Rent arrears (3 months): $2,000 • Late fees and court costs: $125 • Utilities in arrears: $175 • First month of rent as a buffer: $750 I hope life is good to you. - Alexander

Updates from Alexander

  1. Good news. Because of your gifts ($1,064 in total) the plan for utilities in arrears is now scheduled. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

  2. Quick update: $760 raised so far (25%). I made the first payment toward late fees and court costs. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.
