Stop the eviction: 3 months of rent for Kaylee's family in Fort Worth
A court summons for non-payment arrived last week. Kaylee needs $3,400 to clear the arrears and stay housed in Fort Worth.

After a car accident that kept me from work for 6 weeks, Kaylee fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Monday a court summons for non-payment was taped to the door, and the amount owed is $3,400.
The landlord was understanding for a while, but has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by October, the family must leave.
There are three school-aged children at home. Moving would mean new schools, a new commute and no deposit to put down anywhere else.
Kaylee has started working evenings as a cleaner, and is 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 $3,400 goes:
• Rent arrears (3 months): $2,150
• Late fees and court costs: $400
• Utilities in arrears: $270
• First month of rent as a buffer: $580
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Good luck, Terry. Looking forward to the next update. All the best.
a secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. My brother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. God bless
stay strong, Terry. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Blessings.
Rooting for you, Terry. Gave what I could, wish it was more. God bless
Hang in there, Terry. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like.
