Stop the eviction: 3 months of rent for Emery's family in Los Angeles
The closure of the factory left Emery 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 Monday a termination letter was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $3,650.
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 1 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 $3,650 goes:
• Utilities in arrears: $270
• Rent arrears (3 months): $2,350
• First month of rent as a buffer: $1,030
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Sending good thoughts, Emery. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Thinking of Los Angeles.
Thinking of you, Emery. Shared this with my family. All the best!
Sending strength. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend.
Best of luck, Emery. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend
