Los Angeles

After a car accident that kept me from work for 12 weeks, Xia fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Wednesday a final eviction notice was taped to the door, and the amount owed is $1,250. The landlord was understanding for a while, but has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by January, the family must leave. There are two young children at home. Moving would mean new schools, a new commute and no deposit to put down anywhere else. Xia has started working weekend shifts, and is 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 $1,250 goes: • Utilities in arrears: $170 • Late fees and court costs: $420 • First month of rent as a buffer: $660 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it. - Lei

Thank you all. We're at 28% now ($348). I'm honestly stunned. we've booked the dates and paid the deposit.
Wanted to say thank you properly. 14% funded and I met with the landlord and confirmed the amounts.
