Stop the eviction: 3 months of rent for Marta's family in Fort Worth
A long illness left Marta short on rent for 3 months; help us stay in our home.

Following a long illness in the family, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Friday a court summons for non-payment 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 October, 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 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 $2,850 goes:
• Rent arrears (3 months): $2,450
• Utilities in arrears: $210
• Late fees and court costs: $190
Thank you so much.

A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. I hope October is when things finally get easier. Thinking of Fort Worth.
Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. We're a small family in Pune but we're thinking of you. Thinking of Fort Worth.
