Hi, my name is Valerie Raith. My wife Kymberlee and I need assistance in paying our back rent.

As I stated before when I tried this, we had a major health and safety hazard in our apartment that went unrepaired for nine months until we got the Board of Health involved. Because it took so long, we fell way behind on the rent until it was done.

We need to raise the money to pay the back rent. If we can stay for just a few months longer, Kymberlee can find a job, and we can move together into a different place.

We are trying to work with Massachusetts RAFT, and are waiting to hear back on them to cover the majority of the back rent.
