Keep a roof over Ángel's head in Santa Fe

After the loss of a second income, Ángel is 2 months behind on rent and has a 10-day notice to quit from the landlord.

Following a long illness in the family, I fell 2 months behind on rent. Last Monday a 10-day notice to quit was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $1,000. My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by November, we must leave. I've 2 children at home. Moving isn't just an expense - it would mean new schools, a new commute and no deposit to put down anywhere else. I have started working weekend shifts, and I'm 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 $1,000 goes: • Late fees and court costs: $250 • First month of rent as a buffer: $520 • Utilities in arrears: $230 If you're reading this, thank you. - Ángel

Updates from Ángel

  1. Update from Santa Fe: we've booked the dates and paid the deposit. We're at 22% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

  2. Good news. Because of your gifts ($115 in total) the plan for first month of rent as a buffer is now scheduled. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

  3. Wanted to say thank you properly. 6% funded and I met with the landlord and confirmed the amounts.
