Stop the eviction: 3 months of rent for Hazel's family in Laredo
After a delayed insurance payout, Hazel is 3 months behind on rent and has a notice to vacate from the landlord.

Following a long illness in the family, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Thursday a notice to vacate was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $1,950.
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 two young 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 $1,950 goes:
• Utilities in arrears: $195
• Rent arrears (3 months): $1,600
• Late fees and court costs: $155
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Sending strength, Hazel. This could happen to any of us. My neighbor in Lethbridge donated after I showed her your page. Thinking of Laredo.
Hang in there, Hazel. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Take care.
