Stop the eviction: 3 months of rent for Jade's family in Fort Worth

The closure of the factory left Jade short on rent for 3 months; help us stay in our home.

When the hotel closed in December, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Saturday a notice to vacate was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $4,950. My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by March, 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 $4,950 goes: • Rent arrears (3 months): $3,150 • Late fees and court costs: $390 • Utilities in arrears: $185 • First month of rent as a buffer: $1,225 Every share and every dollar helps. - Jade

    Best of luck, Jade. This could happen to any of us. I went through something like this 11 years ago and strangers helped me out. Thinking of Fort Worth.

    • Emer R. Mahony

      Sending good thoughts, Jade. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. All the best
