Help Eliane keep her home - 3 months behind on rent

A cut in working hours left Eliane short on rent for 3 months; help us stay in our home.

After a sudden layoff at the textile factory, Eliane fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Wednesday a notice to vacate was taped to the door, and the amount owed is $950. The landlord was understanding for a while, but has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by October, the family must leave. There are three school-aged children at home. Moving would mean new schools, a new commute and no deposit to put down anywhere else. Eliane has started working weekend shifts, and is 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 $950 goes: • Rent arrears (3 months): $640 • Late fees and court costs: $75 • Utilities in arrears: $50 • First month of rent as a buffer: $185 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

    I hope things turn around soon. I'm in engineering myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you.

    • Emmanuel W. Reyes

      Your post was clear and honest. After 20 years in construction I know how hard it is to ask for anything. Blessings!

      • Patrick Solomon YeboahQuestion

        Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Eliane.

        • Edilene Francisca CorreiaOwnerAnswer

          Sure. The biggest one is rent arrears (3 months), $640. The rest is in the list at the bottom of the post and I'll upload receipts as I pay each one.

              Praying for you. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Thinking of Campinas.

              • Harold C. Long

                Thanks for sharing this, Edilene. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it

                  You're not alone. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. Put this on a community board in Cape Coast this morning

                  • Rony Faruk Alam

                    Hope you get there. Wish I lived closer to Bogotá so I could bring a meal. God bless.

                    • Rashid Rizwan Abbasi

                      Hope things get better soon, Edilene. It takes guts to ask. Well done. All the best.
