Stop the eviction: 5 months of rent for Quinn's family in London

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

After a car accident that kept me from work for 3 weeks, I fell 5 months behind on rent. Last Saturday a 10-day notice to quit was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $4,300. My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by April, we must leave. I have a toddler and a baby 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 extra hours at a market stall, 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 $4,300 goes: • Rent arrears (5 months): $3,250 • Late fees and court costs: $130 • Utilities in arrears: $105 • First month of rent as a buffer: $815 Thank you for reading my story. - Quinn

Updates from Quinn

  1. Good news. Because of your gifts ($417 in total) we've booked the dates and paid the deposit. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

  2. Thank you all. We're at 9% now ($407). I'm honestly stunned. we've started the first stage.

  3. Update from London: I made the first payment toward late fees and court costs. We're at 1% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us. - Quinn
