Stop the eviction: 3 months of rent for Wesley's family in Los Angeles

After a car accident that kept me from work for 12 weeks, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Thursday a final eviction notice was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $1,300. My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by July, we must leave. I have a teenager still in school 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 night deliveries, 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 $1,300 goes: • Late fees and court costs: $270 • First month of rent as a buffer: $870 • Utilities in arrears: $160 Every share and every dollar helps.
