Keep a roof over Aiden's head in El Paso
A termination letter arrived last week. Aiden needs $3,500 to clear the arrears and stay housed in El Paso.

After a sudden layoff at the construction firm, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Friday a termination letter was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $3,500.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by December, 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.
Funds go to the landlord and nowhere else. Any amount left over after the arrears are cleared will go toward next month's rent.
Where the $3,500 goes:
• Rent arrears (3 months): $2,300
• Late fees and court costs: $170
• Utilities in arrears: $175
• First month of rent as a buffer: $855
Thank you for reading my story.

78% there. I made the first payment toward rent arrears. Thank you.
Good news. Because of your gifts ($1,438 in total) I met with the landlord and confirmed the amounts. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
