Gerardo received an eviction notice - help us catch up on rent
A court summons for non-payment arrived last week. Gerardo needs $800 to clear the arrears and stay housed in Valencia.

Following a long illness in the family, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Tuesday a court summons for non-payment was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $800.
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 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 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 $800 goes:
• First month of rent as a buffer: $380
• Utilities in arrears: $185
• Late fees and court costs: $235
Thanks for being kind about this.
