Going in your favor when applying and getting help is you're working, so you probably don't need long-term help, just enough to get caught back up after everything that happened last year. And make sure you tell places apply you are working. I'd also let the apartment manager know you're trying to get help before the court date, sometimes they'll work with you if they know money may be coming.

My children are 14, 10, & 2.
Yes, I have been struggling a bit with being able to pay my rent.
This I am not proud of. Last year was not a good year for my family with losses after losses, funerals left and right, stress and costs, and pulled me way under that I’ve been spending every penny to catch up on all my bills.
My rent just fell the lowest.
And here I am…
I’m just trying to survive and be the best I can for my children.
Now that I have my youngest ready and registered for school now I can go back to following my dreams and register for nursing school. So we can have a better life.
Today I received a Travis County Austin court order of eviction. I really don’t know
What to do.
I really don’t want to move my family, this been our home for over 10years,
I’m devastated.
Is there any way you can help?
