A termination letter arrived last week. Cameron needs $3,200 to clear the arrears and stay housed in Los Angeles.

When the packaging plant closed in September, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Friday a termination letter was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $3,200.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by December, we must leave.
I've 4 children 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 $3,200 goes:
• First month of rent as a buffer: $530
• Rent arrears (3 months): $2,500
• Late fees and court costs: $170
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Sending good thoughts, Cameron. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier
Take care, Cameron. I hope things turn around soon. My neighbor in Osaka donated after I showed her your page. Take care.
So sorry you're going through this. Your post was clear and honest. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too
you're not alone, Cameron. Shared this with my family.
praying for you, Cameron. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day.
Sending love, Cameron. This could happen to any of us. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like
good luck, Cameron. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps!
