Stop the eviction: 3 months of rent for Genesis's family in Hialeah
A divorce left Genesis short on rent for 3 months; help us stay in our home.

When my hours were cut in half in August, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Tuesday a final eviction notice was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $3,950.
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 have a toddler and a baby 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 extra hours at a market stall, 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 $3,950 goes:
• Rent arrears (3 months): $2,650
• Late fees and court costs: $410
• Utilities in arrears: $250
• First month of rent as a buffer: $640

You're not alone. I hope things turn around soon. Love from Johannesburg.
Hope you get there. We're a small family in Hải Phòng but we're thinking of you.
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Genesis.
Thinking of you and your family. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Don't give up. Thinking of Hialeah.
Keep going. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We're a small family in Curitiba but we're thinking of you. Greetings from Curitiba.
Sending love. This could happen to any of us. I'll check back for the next update.
best of luck, Genesis. Gave what I could, wish it was more. All the best.
