Stop the eviction: 3 months of rent for Audrey's family in Brooklyn
A divorce left Audrey short on rent for 3 months; help us stay in our home.
🇺🇸 Brooklyn, New York, United States3,765 views
After a car accident that kept me from work for 12 weeks, Audrey fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Thursday a termination letter was taped to the door, and the amount owed is $4,650.
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 1 children at home. Moving would mean new schools, a new commute and no deposit to put down anywhere else.
Audrey 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.
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 $4,650 goes:
• First month of rent as a buffer: $680
• Late fees and court costs: $125
• Rent arrears (3 months): $3,845
Every share and every dollar helps.

take care, Maverick. I hope things turn around soon. Don't be hard on yourself for asking.
I hope things turn around soon. I have a 10 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Take care.
Best of luck, Maverick. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. I hope June is when things finally get easier. Love from Dayton
