Stop the eviction: 3 months of rent for Logan's family in Yonkers

A final eviction notice arrived last week. Logan needs $2,950 to clear the arrears and stay housed in Yonkers.

When the packaging plant closed in June, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Wednesday a final eviction notice was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $2,950. My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by September, 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 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 $2,950 goes: • Rent arrears (3 months): $2,550 • Utilities in arrears: $310 • Late fees and court costs: $90 If you're reading this, thank you. - Logan
