Stop the eviction: 5 months of rent for Cora's family in Peoria
The loss of a second income left Cora short on rent for 5 months; help us stay in our home.

After a car accident that kept me from work for 10 weeks, I fell 5 months behind on rent. Last Sunday a 10-day notice to quit was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $2,600.
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 a toddler and a baby 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.
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 $2,600 goes:
• Late fees and court costs: $250
• Rent arrears (5 months): $2,150
• Utilities in arrears: $200
Every share and every dollar helps.

Hang in there, Cora. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Blessings.
Thinking of you. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Thinking of Peoria
hope it all works out, Cora. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Take care
Thinking of you and your family. I hope things turn around soon. Put this on a community board in Nakuru this morning.
Sending love, Cora. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Blessings.
