Help Gilbert keep his home - 2 months behind on rent
After a delayed insurance payout, Gilbert is 2 months behind on rent and has a final eviction notice from the landlord.
🇵🇭 Philippines1,218 views
Following a long illness in the family, Gilbert fell 2 months behind on rent. Last Tuesday a final eviction notice was taped to the door, and the amount owed is $750.
The landlord was understanding for a while, but has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by December, 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.
Gilbert has started working night deliveries, 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 $750 goes:
• Rent arrears (2 months): $510
• Late fees and court costs: $70
• Utilities in arrears: $25
• First month of rent as a buffer: $145

Sending love. Shared it with a few friends. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. All the best.
Best of luck. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Thinking of San Fernando
Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I have a 16 year old who wants to send good wishes too. All the best.
Best of luck, Carmela. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Thinking of San Fernando.
you're not alone, Carmela. Shared this with my family. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Greetings from Bengaluru.
I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. After 29 years in logistics I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Take care.
