Keep a roof over Tyler's head in Fresno
After the loss of a second income, Tyler is 5 months behind on rent and has a court summons for non-payment from the landlord.

When my hours were cut in half in May, Tyler fell 5 months behind on rent. Last Tuesday a court summons for non-payment was taped to the door, and the amount owed is $4,600.
The landlord was understanding for a while, but has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by August, the family must leave.
There are three school-aged children at home. Moving would mean new schools, a new commute and no deposit to put down anywhere else.
Tyler has started working two part-time jobs, and is 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 $4,600 goes:
• Late fees and court costs: $240
• Rent arrears (5 months): $3,400
• First month of rent as a buffer: $960

Is there anything that isn't money that would help Tyler?
Thank you. If you're in Fresno I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Ask me anything else.

Hang in there, James. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money.
Best of luck, James. This could happen to any of us. Don't give up. Love from Buenos Aires
