Help Rhea keep her home - 2 months behind on rent
After a sudden layoff, Rhea is 2 months behind on rent and has a final eviction notice from the landlord.
🇵🇭 Philippines1,985 views
When the packaging plant closed in March, Rhea fell 2 months behind on rent. Last Sunday a final eviction notice was taped to the door, and the amount owed is $600.
The landlord was understanding for a while, but has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by June, the family must leave.
There are two young children at home. Moving would mean new schools, a new commute and no deposit to put down anywhere else.
Rhea 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 $600 goes:
• Rent arrears (2 months): $370
• Late fees and court costs: $20
• Utilities in arrears: $35
• First month of rent as a buffer: $175

Wishing you peace. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. I have a 8 year old who wants to send good wishes too.
Praying for you. Shared this with my family. Wish I lived closer to Colombo so I could bring a meal. Thinking of Dasmariñas.
Hope things get better soon, Vanessa. Shared it with a few friends.
Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I went through something like this 5 years ago and strangers helped me out
thinking of you and your family. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Blessings
