Stop the eviction: 5 months of rent for Pablo's family in Fort Worth
A car accident left Pablo short on rent for 5 months; help us stay in our home.
🇺🇸 United States1,828 views
When my hours were cut in half in December, I fell 5 months behind on rent. Last Friday a termination letter was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $2,950.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by March, we must leave.
I have a toddler and a baby 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.
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 $2,950 goes:
• Rent arrears (5 months): $1,500
• Late fees and court costs: $135
• Utilities in arrears: $390
• First month of rent as a buffer: $925

Thinking of you and your family, Pablo. Shared this with my family. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Blessings.
This could happen to any of us. Wish I lived closer to New Delhi so I could bring a meal.
stay strong, Pablo. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Thinking of Fort Worth!
is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Pablo
Rent arrears (5 months) is $1,500 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Appreciate you taking the time.
Praying for you. Hope this works out for you. My husband and I read this together. Greetings from Springfield.
Thanks for sharing this. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. Greetings from The Hague.
Sending love, Pablo. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Blessings.
Sending good thoughts. Shared it with a few friends. Wish I lived closer to Quezon City so I could bring a meal!
