Stop the eviction: 3 months of rent for Frank's family in Manchester
The closure of the factory left Frank short on rent for 3 months; help us stay in our home.

After a sudden layoff at the restaurant, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Thursday a court summons for non-payment was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $1,000.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by August, we must leave.
I have a teenager still in school 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 evenings as a cleaner, 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 $1,000 goes:
• Utilities in arrears: $320
• Late fees and court costs: $185
• First month of rent as a buffer: $495
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

Updates from Frank
Update from Manchester: we've started the first stage. We're at 18% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.
Good news. Because of your gifts ($153 in total) I met with the landlord and confirmed the amounts. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
12% there. I met with the landlord and confirmed the amounts. Thank you.

a secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. Greetings from Pasig
Rooting for you, Frank. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. All the best.
Praying for you, Frank. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did.
I hope things turn around soon. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Blessings.
So sorry you're going through this, Frank. Shared it with a few friends. Thinking of Manchester.
