Stop the eviction: 3 months of rent for Renata's family in Akron
After a car accident, Renata is 3 months behind on rent and has a final eviction notice from the landlord.

When the packaging plant closed in February, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Monday a final eviction notice was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $3,400.
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 two young 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 evenings as a cleaner, 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 $3,400 goes:
• Rent arrears (3 months): $2,450
• Late fees and court costs: $175
• Utilities in arrears: $140
• First month of rent as a buffer: $635

Thinking of you and your family. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. God bless
everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I went through something like this 8 years ago and strangers helped me out. Blessings.
