Stop the eviction: 3 months of rent for Aaron's family in Arlington
A termination letter arrived last week. Aaron needs $5,100 to clear the arrears and stay housed in Arlington.
🇺🇸 Arlington, Texas, United States5,055 views
Following a long illness in the family, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Thursday a termination letter was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $5,100.
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 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 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 $5,100 goes:
• Rent arrears (3 months): $3,400
• Late fees and court costs: $330
• Utilities in arrears: $320
• First month of rent as a buffer: $1,050
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Keep going, Aaron. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Thinking of Arlington.
Best of luck. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Wish I lived closer to Caloocan so I could bring a meal. God bless.
is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Aaron!
Sure. The biggest one is rent arrears (3 months), $3,400. The rest is in the list at the bottom of the post and I'll upload receipts as I pay each one. Let me know if you want more detail.
Hang in there, Aaron. Your post was clear and honest. I'm in social work myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Thinking of Arlington.
Rooting for you, Aaron. Hope this works out for you.
Sending love, Aaron. Hope you get there. Blessings.
Best of luck. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend.
Rooting for you, Aaron. This could happen to any of us.
Stay strong, Aaron. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. All the best.
You're not alone. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. I have a 6 year old who wants to send good wishes too. God bless
thinking of you and your family, Aaron. This could happen to any of us. Blessings.
