Stop the eviction: 5 months of rent for Easton's family in Macon
A sudden layoff left Easton short on rent for 5 months; help us stay in our home.

Following a long illness in the family, I fell 5 months behind on rent. Last Thursday a notice to vacate was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $4,800.
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've 3 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 $4,800 goes:
• Rent arrears (5 months): $3,250
• Late fees and court costs: $160
• Utilities in arrears: $220
• First month of rent as a buffer: $1,170
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Rooting for you. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I went through something like this 13 years ago and strangers helped me out. Love from Dallas.
Stay strong, Easton. Looking forward to the next update. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Thinking of Macon
So sorry you're going through this. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Don't give up. Blessings.
Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We're a small family in San Francisco but we're thinking of you. Love from San Francisco
Best of luck, Easton. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. We're a small family in Valencia but we're thinking of you. God bless
Rooting for you. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Thinking of Macon
Sending good thoughts, Easton. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Greetings from Los Angeles
