Help Orlando keep his home - 2 months behind on rent

A sudden layoff left Orlando short on rent for 2 months; help us stay in our home.

When the hotel closed in July, Orlando fell 2 months behind on rent. Last Thursday a court summons for non-payment was taped to the door, and the amount owed is $350. 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 a teenager still in school at home. Moving would mean new schools, a new commute and no deposit to put down anywhere else. Orlando has started working two part-time jobs, and is applying for help from local services, but nothing will arrive in time without the rest of the gap covered here. The money will be paid directly to the landlord and I'll upload the receipt once it's done. Where the $350 goes: • Rent arrears (2 months): $230 • Late fees and court costs: $30 • First month of rent as a buffer: $90 Every share and every dollar helps.

        keep going. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. Take care.

        • Rooting for you, Jocelyn. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. It's not much but it's yours. Thinking of Cebu City.
