Lowell

Following a long illness in the family, Peyton fell 5 months behind on rent. Last Monday a court summons for non-payment was taped to the door, and the amount owed is $3,250. 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 2 children at home. Moving would mean new schools, a new commute and no deposit to put down anywhere else. Peyton has started working evenings as a cleaner, 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 $3,250 goes: • Utilities in arrears: $260 • Rent arrears (5 months): $2,500 • First month of rent as a buffer: $490 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.
