A 10-day notice to quit arrived last week. Eva needs $2,800 to clear the arrears and stay housed in Gothenburg.

Following a long illness in the family, I fell 4 months behind on rent. Last Monday a 10-day notice to quit was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $2,800.
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 a toddler and a baby 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 $2,800 goes:
• First month of rent as a buffer: $1,050
• Late fees and court costs: $230
• Rent arrears (4 months): $1,520
Thanks for being kind about this.

Sending strength, Eva. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. My neighbor in Leeds donated after I showed her your page. Love from Leeds.
Keep going, Eva. This could happen to any of us. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Thinking of Gothenburg.
Stay strong, Eva. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Put this on a community board in Olinda this morning.
So sorry you're going through this, Eva. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Love from Port Harcourt.
