Stop the eviction: 3 months of rent for Enrique's family in Erie
After a divorce, Enrique is 3 months behind on rent and has a termination letter from the landlord.

When the bakery closed in August, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Friday a termination letter was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $3,250.
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 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 $3,250 goes:
• Rent arrears (3 months): $1,650
• Late fees and court costs: $310
• Utilities in arrears: $330
• First month of rent as a buffer: $960
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Sending good thoughts. This could happen to any of us. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Thinking of Erie.
You're not alone, Enrique. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. I went through something like this 2 years ago and strangers helped me out. All the best.
So sorry you're going through this, Enrique. Looking forward to the next update. God bless.
Good luck, Enrique. Hope you get there. Thinking of Erie.
Hope it all works out. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. After 22 years in construction I know how hard it's to ask for anything. God bless.
Stay strong, Enrique. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Blessings.
