Wendy received an eviction notice - help us catch up on rent

A termination letter arrived last week. Wendy needs $4,300 to clear the arrears and stay housed in Cleveland.

Following a long illness in the family, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Saturday a termination letter 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 December, we must leave. I have a teenager still in school 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. The money will be paid directly to the landlord and I'll upload the receipt once it's done. Where the $4,300 goes: • Rent arrears (3 months): $2,850 • Late fees and court costs: $175 • Utilities in arrears: $155 • First month of rent as a buffer: $1,120 Thank you so much.

  1. Good news. Because of your gifts ($3,458 in total) I made the first payment toward utilities in arrears. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

  2. We're at 46% thanks to 44 of you. we've booked the dates and paid the deposit. More news soon.

  3. 15% there. the plan for first month of rent as a buffer is now scheduled. Thank you.
