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

A long illness left Russell 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 Wednesday a termination letter was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $800. My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by August, 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 weekend shifts, 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 $800 goes: • Late fees and court costs: $115 • Utilities in arrears: $200 • First month of rent as a buffer: $485 I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

    Take care, Russell. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I'll check back for the next update. Blessings

      It takes guts to ask. Well done. I have a 16 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Love from Mukono.
