Stop the eviction: 3 months of rent for Samuel's family in El Paso

The loss of a second income left Samuel short on rent for 3 months; help us stay in our home.

After a car accident that kept me from work for 10 weeks, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Saturday a termination letter was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $2,900. My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by September, 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 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. The money will be paid directly to the landlord and I'll upload the receipt once it's done. Where the $2,900 goes: • Late fees and court costs: $140 • Utilities in arrears: $290 • Rent arrears (3 months): $2,470 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.
