Stop the eviction: 3 months of rent for Howard's family in Louisville
After the loss of a second income, Howard is 3 months behind on rent and has a termination letter from the landlord.

After a car accident that kept me from work for 5 weeks, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Saturday 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 November, we must leave.
I have two young 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 weekend shifts, 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 $3,650 goes:
• Rent arrears (3 months): $2,400
• Utilities in arrears: $250
• First month of rent as a buffer: $1,000
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Stay strong, Howard. Shared this with my family.
Your post was clear and honest. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. All the best.
is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Howard
Hope things get better soon, Howard. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. Take care
Wishing you the best. I hope things turn around soon!
Sending strength, Howard. Hope you get there. My husband and I read this together
Thinking of you, Howard. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too.
