Keep a roof over Araceli's head in Envigado
The closure of the factory left Araceli short on rent for 3 months; help us stay in our home.
🇨🇴 Envigado, Antioquia, Colombia1,700 views
After a car accident that kept me from work for 4 weeks, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Saturday a notice to vacate was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $950.
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 have two young 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 night deliveries, 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 $950 goes:
• Rent arrears (3 months): $550
• Late fees and court costs: $40
• Utilities in arrears: $60
• First month of rent as a buffer: $300
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Wishing you peace, Araceli. Your post was clear and honest. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Love from Cox's Bazar.
Thinking of you and your family, Araceli. This could happen to any of us.
