Stop the eviction: 4 months of rent for Joseph's family in Aberdeen

A divorce left Joseph short on rent for 4 months; help us stay in our home.

When my hours were cut in half in November, I fell 4 months behind on rent. Last Saturday a court summons for non-payment was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $2,950. My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by February, 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 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 $2,950 goes: • First month of rent as a buffer: $530 • Rent arrears (4 months): $2,050 • Late fees and court costs: $370 I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen. - Joseph

    Thinking of you and your family. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. Put this on a community board in Buenos Aires this morning. Blessings.

      So sorry you're going through this. Shared this with my family. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Love from Essen.
