A court summons for non-payment arrived last week. Lauren needs $2,200 to clear the arrears and stay housed in Los Angeles.

Following a long illness in the family, 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 $2,200.
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 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 night deliveries, 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 $2,200 goes:
• Late fees and court costs: $200
• Rent arrears (4 months): $1,800
• Utilities in arrears: $200
Thank you so much.

is there anything that isn't money that would help Lauren?
Sharing the link is the biggest thing. And if you know anything about late fees and court costs, advice is welcome too. Thanks for looking so closely.
Sending good thoughts, Lauren. Hope this works out for you. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Thinking of Los Angeles.
