Stop the eviction: 4 months of rent for Jaxon's family in El Paso
After a divorce, Jaxon is 4 months behind on rent and has a final eviction notice from the landlord.

After a sudden layoff at the textile factory, I fell 4 months behind on rent. Last Tuesday a final eviction notice was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $1,300.
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 three school-aged 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 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 $1,300 goes:
• First month of rent as a buffer: $930
• Late fees and court costs: $170
• Utilities in arrears: $200
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. I hope October is when things finally get easier. Thinking of El Paso.
hang in there. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. Wish I lived closer to Lahore so I could bring a meal
