Stop the eviction: 4 months of rent for Waleed's family in Fort Worth
A delayed insurance payout left Waleed short on rent for 4 months; help us stay in our home.
🇺🇸 Fort Worth, Texas, United States4,458 views
When my hours were cut in half in April, I fell 4 months behind on rent. Last Monday a final eviction notice 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 July, we must leave.
I have a teenager still in school 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 $2,900 goes:
• Rent arrears (4 months): $1,700
• Late fees and court costs: $330
• Utilities in arrears: $220
• First month of rent as a buffer: $650
Thank you so much.

shared it with a few friends. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Thinking of Fort Worth.

Good luck, Waleed. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. God bless.
Thanks for sharing this. Hope you get there. Put this on a community board in Toulouse this morning.
