Stop the eviction: 3 months of rent for Nevaeh's family in Bakersfield

After a car accident that kept me from work for 10 weeks, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Wednesday a final eviction notice was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $1,250. 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've 4 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 $1,250 goes: • Utilities in arrears: $210 • First month of rent as a buffer: $920 • Late fees and court costs: $120 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.
