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

When the construction firm closed in August, Zalak fell 5 months behind on rent. Last Friday a final eviction notice was taped to the door, and the amount owed is $500. The landlord was understanding for a while, but has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by November, the family must leave. There are 2 children at home. Moving would mean new schools, a new commute and no deposit to put down anywhere else. Zalak has started working weekend shifts, and is 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 $500 goes: • Rent arrears (5 months): $280 • Late fees and court costs: $55 • Utilities in arrears: $35 • First month of rent as a buffer: $130 Every share and every dollar helps.
