Stop the eviction: 4 months of rent for Nadia's family in Yonkers

A cut in working hours left Nadia short on rent for 4 months; help us stay in our home.

Yonkers
When my hours were cut in half in December, I fell 4 months behind on rent. Last Friday a 10-day notice to quit was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $2,300. My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by March, 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. 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 $2,300 goes: • Utilities in arrears: $145 • Rent arrears (4 months): $1,900 • Late fees and court costs: $255 If you're reading this, thank you. - Nadia

    Thinking of you and your family, Nadia. Your post was clear and honest. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Blessings.
