Stop the eviction: 4 months of rent for Axel's family in Boston
A notice to vacate arrived last week. Axel needs $3,150 to clear the arrears and stay housed in Boston.

When the packaging plant closed in August, Axel fell 4 months behind on rent. Last Tuesday a notice to vacate was taped to the door, and the amount owed is $3,150.
The landlord was understanding for a while, but has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by December, the family must leave.
There are three school-aged children at home. Moving would mean new schools, a new commute and no deposit to put down anywhere else.
Axel has started working evenings as a cleaner, 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 $3,150 goes:
• Rent arrears (4 months): $1,800
• Late fees and court costs: $160
• Utilities in arrears: $240
• First month of rent as a buffer: $950
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

Hope this works out for you. Greetings from Coyoacán.

Rooting for you, Beau. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together.
