Keep a roof over Nathan's head in Fort Worth
A divorce left Nathan short on rent for 5 months; help us stay in our home.
🇺🇸 United States3,035 views
Following a long illness in the family, I fell 5 months behind on rent. Last Friday a termination letter was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $3,000.
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 three school-aged children 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 evenings as a cleaner, 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 $3,000 goes:
• Late fees and court costs: $370
• Rent arrears (5 months): $2,050
• First month of rent as a buffer: $580
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Sending love, Nathan. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.
So sorry you're going through this, Nathan. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. I hope December is when things finally get easier. Love from Maringá.
Best of luck. Shared it with a few friends. Love from Surakarta.
Wishing you the best, Nathan. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double
