Stop the eviction: 3 months of rent for Niall's family in Kilkenny
A cut in working hours left Niall short on rent for 3 months; help us stay in our home.

After a sudden layoff at the textile factory, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Friday a notice to vacate was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $4,600.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by October, we must leave.
I have three school-aged 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.
The money will be paid directly to the landlord and I'll upload the receipt once it's done.
Where the $4,600 goes:
• Rent arrears (3 months): $3,300
• Late fees and court costs: $200
• Utilities in arrears: $130
• First month of rent as a buffer: $970
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

is there anything that isn't money that would help Niall?
Thank you. If you're in Kilkenny I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Good question.
Hope this works out for you. Put this on a community board in Los Angeles this morning
Sending good thoughts, Niall. Your post was clear and honest. Thinking of Kilkenny
hang in there, Niall. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Sent it to 26 people at work.
