Stop the eviction: 4 months of rent for Kennedy's family in Newcastle upon Tyne
A delayed insurance payout left Kennedy short on rent for 4 months; help us stay in our home.

When the bakery closed in May, 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 $3,050.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by August, 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 extra hours at a market stall, 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 $3,050 goes:
• Rent arrears (4 months): $2,050
• Late fees and court costs: $105
• Utilities in arrears: $280
• First month of rent as a buffer: $615
With deep gratitude,
Kennedy

rooting for you, Kennedy. Shared it with a few friends. My father had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Take care.
is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Kennedy
Rent arrears (4 months) is $2,050 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. I'll keep the page updated.
Best of luck, Kennedy. Shared it with a few friends
you're not alone, Kennedy. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it.
You're not alone, Kennedy. Gave what I could, wish it was more. All the best.
Stay strong, Kennedy. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. My neighbor in Jessore donated after I showed her your page. Greetings from Jessore.
Keep going, Kennedy. I hope things turn around soon. All the best
hope it all works out, Kennedy. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. All the best.
thinking of you and your family, Kennedy. Hope this works out for you. Take care.
