We are Victoria and Esmé, a single mother and her daughter, and we have lived in Somerville, MA, in the same apartment for 17 years. We are now suddenly losing our lease because our landlord urgently needs to move into our apartment.

Esmé is a student at Suffolk University and needs to be able to commute on public transportation from where we are living, and the Boston area is incredibly expensive.

We are asking for your help to come up with enough money for a security deposit and moving expenses for a new apartment. We would be so grateful for your donations and/or sharing of this post. Thank you all.

Also, if you happen to own or know of someone who owns an apartment that can be rented in the Somerville/Cambridge area for about $2400 a month, please let us know!
