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

When the packaging plant closed in June, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Wednesday a court summons for non-payment was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $2,850.
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've 2 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 $2,850 goes:
• Late fees and court costs: $250
• Rent arrears (3 months): $2,450
• Utilities in arrears: $150
With deep gratitude,
Luna

Best of luck, Luna. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. After 7 years in construction I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Greetings from Paarl.
Thanks for sharing this, Luna. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. My father had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
Good luck, Luna. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I hope September is when things finally get easier. All the best
Hope it all works out. Shared it with a few friends. My cousin had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Blessings.
I hope things turn around soon. We're a small family in Tarkwa but we're thinking of you. Blessings
good luck, Luna. Shared this with my family.
stay strong. It takes guts to ask. Well done. After 21 years in public service I know how hard it's to ask for anything
Praying for you, Luna. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Love from Gangnam.
best of luck. Hope you get there. I went through something like this 10 years ago and strangers helped me out.
Hope things get better soon, Luna. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did
You're not alone, Luna. Gave what I could, wish it was more. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust.
