Stop the eviction: 5 months of rent for Mónica's family in Fayetteville

After the loss of a second income, Mónica is 5 months behind on rent and has a termination letter from the landlord.

When my hours were cut in half in September, Mónica fell 5 months behind on rent. Last Thursday a termination letter was taped to the door, and the amount owed is $3,400. The landlord was understanding for a while, but has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by November, the family must leave. There are a teenager still in school at home. Moving would mean new schools, a new commute and no deposit to put down anywhere else. Mónica has started working weekend shifts, and is 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 $3,400 goes: • Rent arrears (5 months): $2,550 • Late fees and court costs: $125 • Utilities in arrears: $90 • First month of rent as a buffer: $635 Thanks for being kind about this.

    A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. We're a small family in Dhaka but we're thinking of you. All the best

      Wishing you the best. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Blessings.
