Stop the eviction: 4 months of rent for Maverick's family in Augusta

A car accident left Maverick short on rent for 4 months; help us stay in our home.

When my hours were cut in half in June, 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 $3,700. 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 $3,700 goes: • Rent arrears (4 months): $2,400 • Late fees and court costs: $135 • First month of rent as a buffer: $1,165 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

Updates from Maverick

  1. Good news. Because of your gifts ($884 in total) I made the first payment toward first month of rent as a buffer. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

  2. Good news. Because of your gifts ($864 in total) the plan for late fees and court costs is now scheduled. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

  3. 8% there. I made the first payment toward first month of rent as a buffer. Thank you.
