Fort Worth
When the restaurant closed in July, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Friday a termination letter was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $3,400. 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've 3 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 extra hours at a market stall, 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 $3,400 goes: • First month of rent as a buffer: $600 • Rent arrears (3 months): $2,700 • Late fees and court costs: $100 I hope life is good to you. - Noah

Updates from Noah

  1. Good news. Because of your gifts ($586 in total) I made the first payment toward late fees and court costs. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

  2. Update from Fort Worth: I met with the landlord and confirmed the amounts. We're at 12% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.
