Stop the eviction: 5 months of rent for Hailey's family in Los Angeles
After a car accident, Hailey is 5 months behind on rent and has a 10-day notice to quit from the landlord.

When my hours were cut in half in August, I fell 5 months behind on rent. Last Monday a 10-day notice to quit was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $3,350.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by November, 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.
The money will be paid directly to the landlord and I'll upload the receipt once it's done.
Where the $3,350 goes:
• Utilities in arrears: $370
• Rent arrears (5 months): $2,750
• Late fees and court costs: $230
With deep gratitude,
Hailey

Stay strong, Hailey. Your post was clear and honest. Love from London.
praying for you, Hailey. This could happen to any of us. I hope November is when things finally get easier. Take care.
Rooting for you, Hailey. This could happen to any of us. I have a 5 year old who wants to send good wishes too.
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Hailey
It's all in the list in the story. utilities in arrears is the big one at $370, I'll post a receipt when it's paid.
You're not alone, Hailey. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes.
Keep going, Hailey. I hope things turn around soon. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it
Hope things get better soon, Hailey. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money.
Hope things get better soon, Hailey. Your post was clear and honest. God bless.
