Help Ramón keep his home - 2 months behind on rent
A cut in working hours left Ramón short on rent for 2 months; help us stay in our home.
🇨🇴 Colombia2,183 views
After a car accident that kept me from work for 8 weeks, Ramón fell 2 months behind on rent. Last Sunday 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 March, the family must leave.
There are 1 children at home. Moving would mean new schools, a new commute and no deposit to put down anywhere else.
Ramón has started working extra hours at a market stall, 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:
• Late fees and court costs: $65
• Utilities in arrears: $90
• Rent arrears (2 months): $595
Every share and every dollar helps.
