Xiang received an eviction notice - help us catch up on rent
A divorce left Xiang short on rent for 4 months; help us stay in our home.

When the warehouse closed in January, I fell 4 months behind on rent. Last Sunday a final eviction notice was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $3,850.
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 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 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.
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 $3,850 goes:
• Rent arrears (4 months): $2,550
• Late fees and court costs: $270
• Utilities in arrears: $175
• First month of rent as a buffer: $855
Every share and every dollar helps.
