Stop the eviction: 3 months of rent for Courtney's family in San Diego
After a long illness, Courtney is 3 months behind on rent and has a court summons for non-payment from the landlord.

Following a long illness in the family, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Monday a court summons for non-payment was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $1,900.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by October, we must leave.
I have two young 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 two part-time jobs, and I'm 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 $1,900 goes:
• Rent arrears (3 months): $1,400
• Utilities in arrears: $240
• Late fees and court costs: $260
With deep gratitude,
Courtney

Looking forward to the next update. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Love from Paris.
Thanks for sharing this. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I have a 5 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Take care
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Courtney!
Rent arrears (3 months) is $1,400 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Thanks for looking so closely.
Praying for you, Courtney. Hope you get there. Love from Kasarani
sending good thoughts, Courtney. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. Blessings.
Stay strong, Courtney. This could happen to any of us.
Good luck, Courtney. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money!
You're not alone. This could happen to any of us. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend.
best of luck, Courtney. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it
Sending love, Courtney. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. All the best.
