Laredo
After a car accident that kept me from work for 5 weeks, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Friday a notice to vacate was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $2,850. 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 night deliveries, 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 $2,850 goes: • Utilities in arrears: $140 • Rent arrears (3 months): $2,000 • First month of rent as a buffer: $710 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot. - Isabelle

  2. Quick update: $1,456 raised so far (51%). I met with the landlord and confirmed the amounts. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.

  3. Thank you all. We're at 64% now ($1,838). I'm honestly stunned. I made the first payment toward first month of rent as a buffer.

    Good luck. Gave what I could, wish it was more. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Take care.

      I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. I went through something like this 12 years ago and strangers helped me out.
