Help Enrique keep his home - 3 months behind on rent

After a delayed insurance payout, Enrique is 3 months behind on rent and has a notice to vacate from the landlord.

After a sudden layoff at the textile factory, Enrique fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Saturday 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 March, the family must leave. There are a toddler and a baby at home. Moving would mean new schools, a new commute and no deposit to put down anywhere else. Enrique has started working evenings as a cleaner, 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: • First month of rent as a buffer: $180 • Rent arrears (3 months): $690 • Utilities in arrears: $80 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly. - Fernanda

Updates from Fernanda

  1. Good news. Because of your gifts ($332 in total) the first invoice got paid this week. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

  2. Quick update: $290 raised so far (31%). the plan for rent arrears is now scheduled. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.

  3. Thank you all. We're at 13% now ($128). I'm honestly stunned. I made the first payment toward utilities in arrears.

            Stay strong, Fernanda. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Thinking of La Plata!
