Keep a roof over Valentina's head in Austin

A notice to vacate arrived last week. Valentina needs $4,300 to clear the arrears and stay housed in Austin.

After a car accident that kept me from work for 7 weeks, I fell 4 months behind on rent. Last Tuesday a notice to vacate was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $4,300. My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by September, 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 $4,300 goes: • Rent arrears (4 months): $2,950 • Late fees and court costs: $230 • Utilities in arrears: $270 • First month of rent as a buffer: $850 Thank you so much.
