Stop the eviction: 3 months of rent for Clinton's family in Ekurhuleni
A divorce left Clinton short on rent for 3 months; help us stay in our home.

After a sudden layoff at the warehouse, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Friday a notice to vacate was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $950.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by November, we must leave.
I have three school-aged 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 night deliveries, 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 $950 goes:
• Rent arrears (3 months): $710
• Late fees and court costs: $50
• Utilities in arrears: $30
• First month of rent as a buffer: $160
Thanks for reading all this.

Hope things get better soon, Clinton. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Blessings
shared this with my family. I'm in construction myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. God bless!
Rooting for you, Clinton. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Thinking of Ekurhuleni.
