Keep a roof over Christian's head in Davao City
After the closure of the factory, Christian is 3 months behind on rent and has a final eviction notice from the landlord.
🇵🇭 Davao City, Davao del Sur, Philippines571 views
When the packaging plant closed in May, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Friday a final eviction notice was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $600.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by September, we must leave.
I have a toddler and a baby 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 extra hours at a market stall, 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 $600 goes:
• Rent arrears (3 months): $380
• Late fees and court costs: $35
• Utilities in arrears: $25
• First month of rent as a buffer: $160

Good luck. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Thinking of Davao City.
Rooting for you, Christian. I hope things turn around soon. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. God bless.
A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. Greetings from Dallas.
sending good thoughts, Christian. Gave what I could, wish it was more. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.
Looking forward to the next update. I have a 7 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Love from Fort Portal.
Wishing you the best. I hope things turn around soon. It's not much but it's yours. Thinking of Davao City.
