Stop the eviction: 4 months of rent for Elias's family in Greensboro
A notice to vacate arrived last week. Elias needs $3,000 to clear the arrears and stay housed in Greensboro.

When the warehouse closed in August, I fell 4 months behind on rent. Last Tuesday a notice to vacate was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $3,000.
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 two young 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 two part-time jobs, and I'm applying for help from local services, but nothing will arrive in time without the rest of the gap covered here.
Funds go to the landlord and nowhere else. Any amount left over after the arrears are cleared will go toward next month's rent.
Where the $3,000 goes:
• Rent arrears (4 months): $2,150
• Late fees and court costs: $300
• First month of rent as a buffer: $550
Thanks for being kind about this.

Wishing you the best, Elias. Hope you get there. We're a small family in Oakland but we're thinking of you. Take care
Hope things get better soon, Elias. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Wish I lived closer to Hồ Chí Minh City so I could bring a meal.
Thanks for sharing this, Elias. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. I'm in accounting myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. God bless.
