Keep a roof over Kylie's head in Hialeah
A divorce left Kylie short on rent for 3 months; help us stay in our home.

When the textile factory closed in July, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Monday a notice to vacate was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $3,300.
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 toddler and a baby 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 $3,300 goes:
• Rent arrears (3 months): $2,350
• Late fees and court costs: $200
• Utilities in arrears: $110
• First month of rent as a buffer: $640
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

rooting for you. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Put this on a community board in Fresno this morning.
Your post was clear and honest. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Love from New York
Thinking of you. This could happen to any of us. Thinking of Hialeah
