Stop the eviction: 3 months of rent for Jameson's family in Fresno
After a divorce, Jameson is 3 months behind on rent and has a court summons for non-payment from the landlord.

When my hours were cut in half in September, 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 $4,300.
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 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.
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 $4,300 goes:
• Rent arrears (3 months): $3,450
• Late fees and court costs: $280
• First month of rent as a buffer: $570
Thank you for reading my story.

Praying for you. Shared this with my family. Greetings from Pretoria.
Take care, Jameson. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Thinking of Fresno.
Thanks for sharing this. Shared it with a few friends. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Love from Çankaya!
