Stop the eviction: 5 months of rent for Walker's family in Fresno
The closure of the factory left Walker short on rent for 5 months; help us stay in our home.

When my hours were cut in half in August, I fell 5 months behind on rent. Last Friday a final eviction notice was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $4,500.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by November, we must leave.
I've 4 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.
The money will be paid directly to the landlord and I'll upload the receipt once it's done.
Where the $4,500 goes:
• Rent arrears (5 months): $3,050
• Late fees and court costs: $360
• Utilities in arrears: $200
• First month of rent as a buffer: $890
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. Wish I lived closer to Bowling Green so I could bring a meal
Rooting for you, Walker. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. My brother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. All the best.
