When the hotel closed in June, I fell 5 months behind on rent. Last Monday a court summons for non-payment was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $700.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by September, we must leave.
I have two young 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 extra hours at a market stall, 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 $700 goes:
• Rent arrears (5 months): $510
• Utilities in arrears: $30
• First month of rent as a buffer: $160
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Updates from Cecilia
30% there. I made the first payment toward utilities in arrears. Thank you.
Update from Quezon City: I made the first payment toward first month of rent as a buffer. We're at 16% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.
Quick update: $95 raised so far (14%). the plan for first month of rent as a buffer is now scheduled. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.

Thanks for sharing this, Cecilia. I hope things turn around soon. All the best.
Best of luck. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Love from Liverpool.
Stay strong. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Put this on a community board in Duisburg this morning. Blessings.
