Stop the eviction: 3 months of rent for Julián's family in Los Angeles

A long illness left Julián short on rent for 3 months; help us stay in our home.

When my hours were cut in half in March, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Sunday a final eviction notice was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $4,350. My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by June, 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 night deliveries, 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 $4,350 goes: • Rent arrears (3 months): $3,950 • Late fees and court costs: $250 • Utilities in arrears: $150 Every share and every dollar helps. - Julián

        You're not alone, Julián. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. I went through something like this 3 years ago and strangers helped me out. God bless.
