Travis received an eviction notice - help us catch up on rent
A sudden layoff left Travis 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 Monday a termination letter was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $3,900.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by January, we must leave.
I have three school-aged 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 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 $3,900 goes:
• Late fees and court costs: $280
• Rent arrears (5 months): $3,400
• Utilities in arrears: $220
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. Sent it to 32 people at work. Thinking of San Francisco.
Thinking of you and your family, Travis. This could happen to any of us. Thinking of San Francisco.
Hang in there, Travis. This could happen to any of us. Greetings from Stellenbosch.
