Stop the eviction: 4 months of rent for Alice's family in St. Petersburg
A divorce left Alice short on rent for 4 months; help us stay in our home.

Following a long illness in the family, I fell 4 months behind on rent. Last Friday a court summons for non-payment was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $3,700.
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 have three school-aged 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.
The money will be paid directly to the landlord and I'll upload the receipt once it's done.
Where the $3,700 goes:
• First month of rent as a buffer: $620
• Late fees and court costs: $340
• Rent arrears (4 months): $2,740
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.
