Stop the eviction: 3 months of rent for Rowan's family in Newcastle upon Tyne
A sudden layoff left Rowan short on rent for 3 months; help us stay in our home.
🇬🇧 Newcastle upon Tyne, England, United Kingdom2,109 views
Following a long illness in the family, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Tuesday a termination letter was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $4,200.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by August, 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 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 $4,200 goes:
• Rent arrears (3 months): $3,000
• Late fees and court costs: $110
• Utilities in arrears: $195
• First month of rent as a buffer: $895
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Sending strength, Rowan. Shared this with my family. I hope August is when things finally get easier.
Take care, Rowan. I hope things turn around soon. My neighbor had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. All the best.
Thinking of you, Rowan. Shared it with a few friends. It's not much but it's yours.
praying for you, Rowan. Hope you get there. Wish I lived closer to Saint-Denis so I could bring a meal.
Sending good thoughts. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. My neighbor in Chiang Mai donated after I showed her your page. God bless!
Sending strength, Rowan. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. It's not much but it's yours. Thinking of Newcastle upon Tyne.
