Stop the eviction: 3 months of rent for Delilah's family in Erie
After a divorce, Delilah is 3 months behind on rent and has a notice to vacate from the landlord.

When my hours were cut in half in May, Delilah fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Thursday a notice to vacate was taped to the door, and the amount owed is $4,100.
The landlord was understanding for a while, but has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by August, the family must leave.
There are a teenager still in school at home. Moving would mean new schools, a new commute and no deposit to put down anywhere else.
Delilah has started working evenings as a cleaner, and is 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 $4,100 goes:
• Late fees and court costs: $440
• Utilities in arrears: $160
• Rent arrears (3 months): $3,500
Glad we found this place.
