Stop the eviction: 4 months of rent for Eleanor's family in Newcastle
The closure of the factory left Eleanor short on rent for 4 months; help us stay in our home.

When the restaurant closed in January, I fell 4 months behind on rent. Last Friday a final eviction notice 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 April, 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 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:
• Rent arrears (4 months): $2,250
• Late fees and court costs: $280
• Utilities in arrears: $175
• First month of rent as a buffer: $995
Thank you so much.

Thinking of you and your family. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Thinking of Newcastle.
Hang in there, Eleanor. Looking forward to the next update. Wish I lived closer to Wudil so I could bring a meal. Love from Quezon City.
take care, Eleanor. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Take care.

Wishing you the best, Eleanor. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. After 21 years in teaching I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
