After a car accident that kept me from work for 4 weeks, Carmen fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Monday a 10-day notice to quit was taped to the door, and the amount owed is $2,800.
The landlord was understanding for a while, but has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by January, the family must leave.
There are a toddler and a baby at home. Moving would mean new schools, a new commute and no deposit to put down anywhere else.
Carmen has started working two part-time jobs, 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 $2,800 goes:
• First month of rent as a buffer: $610
• Rent arrears (3 months): $2,000
• Late fees and court costs: $190
Glad we found this place.

What exactly is the $2,800 for?
It's all in the list in the story. first month of rent as a buffer is the big one at $610, I'll post a receipt when it's paid. Thanks for looking so closely.
Hang in there, Liliana. Shared this with my family
Wishing you the best, Liliana. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. Wish I lived closer to San Fernando so I could bring a meal. Thinking of Fort Worth.
Thinking of you, Liliana. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it
I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Thinking of Fort Worth
