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

A final eviction notice arrived last week. Jian needs $1,200 to clear the arrears and stay housed in San Antonio.

When the construction firm closed in June, I fell 5 months behind on rent. Last Tuesday a final eviction notice was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $1,200. My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by October, 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. The money will be paid directly to the landlord and I'll upload the receipt once it's done. Where the $1,200 goes: • Utilities in arrears: $195 • First month of rent as a buffer: $810 • Late fees and court costs: $195 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.
