Keep a roof over Arturo's head in Barcelona
A delayed insurance payout left Arturo short on rent for 4 months; help us stay in our home.
🇪🇸 Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain1,014 views
Following a long illness in the family, I fell 4 months behind on rent. Last Saturday a court summons for non-payment 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 July, 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.
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 $950 goes:
• Late fees and court costs: $120
• Utilities in arrears: $125
• First month of rent as a buffer: $705
Thank you so much.

Best of luck, Arturo. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Love from Nijmegen.
stay strong. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. Don't give up. All the best
You're not alone. Looking forward to the next update. My husband and I read this together. Greetings from Cầu Giấy
good luck, Arturo. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I have a 6 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Thinking of Barcelona.
Hope things get better soon, Arturo. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Greetings from Burnaby.
thinking of you and your family. I hope things turn around soon. I hope July is when things finally get easier. Thinking of Barcelona.
