Stop the eviction: 4 months of rent for Caleb's family in Manchester
A long illness left Caleb short on rent for 4 months; help us stay in our home.

When the bakery closed in August, 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 $1,100.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by November, we must leave.
I've 1 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 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.
The money will be paid directly to the landlord and I'll upload the receipt once it's done.
Where the $1,100 goes:
• Utilities in arrears: $200
• Late fees and court costs: $160
• First month of rent as a buffer: $740
I hope life is good to you.

Your post was clear and honest. Put this on a community board in Cape Town this morning. Take care.
You're not alone, Caleb. Shared it with a few friends. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Take care.
Sending strength. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. God bless.
