Stop the eviction: 3 months of rent for Crystal's family in Raleigh
After a sudden layoff, Crystal is 3 months behind on rent and has a termination letter from the landlord.

Following a long illness in the family, Crystal fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Saturday a termination letter was taped to the door, and the amount owed is $2,800.
The landlord was understanding for a while, but has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by February, the family must leave.
There are two young children at home. Moving would mean new schools, a new commute and no deposit to put down anywhere else.
Crystal has started working weekend shifts, 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 $2,800 goes:
• Rent arrears (3 months): $1,400
• Late fees and court costs: $330
• Utilities in arrears: $240
• First month of rent as a buffer: $830
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

So sorry you're going through this. Hope you get there. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Greetings from São Paulo.
praying for you, Natalia. Looking forward to the next update. Don't give up. God bless
Keep going, Natalia. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. I'm in construction myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Greetings from Istanbul.
Shared it with a few friends. I have a 5 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Take care.
Wishing you the best, Natalia. I hope things turn around soon. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. All the best.
Thinking of you and your family. Looking forward to the next update. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money
Keep going, Natalia. Shared this with my family. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Greetings from Setagaya.
