Stop the eviction: 3 months of rent for Jaxon's family in Leicester
A car accident left Jaxon short on rent for 3 months; help us stay in our home.

When my hours were cut in half in January, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Friday a 10-day notice to quit was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $3,500.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by May, 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 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.
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 $3,500 goes:
• First month of rent as a buffer: $690
• Rent arrears (3 months): $2,650
• Late fees and court costs: $160
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

Take care, Jaxon. This could happen to any of us. All the best.
Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Thinking of Leicester.
You're not alone. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Greetings from Caxias do Sul.
Wishing you peace. I hope things turn around soon. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Greetings from London.
Take care, Jaxon. Hope this works out for you. Blessings
Hope things get better soon, Jaxon. Your post was clear and honest. Take care.
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My mother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Greetings from Lahore
hope you get there. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Love from Calamba
Rooting for you. Hope you get there. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Blessings
