Stop the eviction: 3 months of rent for Valentina's family in Sydney
The closure of the factory left Valentina short on rent for 3 months; help us stay in our home.

After a sudden layoff at the bakery, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Saturday a notice to vacate was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $4,150.
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'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 $4,150 goes:
• Rent arrears (3 months): $2,950
• Late fees and court costs: $240
• Utilities in arrears: $320
• First month of rent as a buffer: $640
Every share and every dollar helps.
