Stop the eviction: 5 months of rent for Dennis's family in Angeles

A divorce left Dennis short on rent for 5 months; help us stay in our home.

Angeles
When the bakery closed in June, I fell 5 months behind on rent. Last Thursday a court summons for non-payment was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $750. My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by September, we must leave. I have three school-aged 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 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 $750 goes: β€’ Rent arrears (5 months): $570 β€’ First month of rent as a buffer: $130 β€’ Late fees and court costs: $50 Glad we found this place.

    Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. After 26 years in construction I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
