Keep a roof over Clive's head in Mandeville
A divorce left Clive short on rent for 3 months; help us stay in our home.
🇯🇲 Jamaica1,892 views
After a car accident that kept me from work for 3 weeks, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Saturday a 10-day notice to quit was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $850.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by February, 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 two part-time jobs, 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 $850 goes:
• Rent arrears (3 months): $600
• Late fees and court costs: $75
• Utilities in arrears: $45
• First month of rent as a buffer: $130
Thank you for reading my story.

how is Clive doing now?
Best of luck, Clive. Your post was clear and honest. I hope February is when things finally get easier. God bless.
This could happen to any of us. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Love from St. Petersburg.
sending strength, Clive. Shared this with my family. Take care.
Is there anything that isn't money that would help Clive?
Thank you. If you're in Mandeville I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great.
Sending strength, Clive. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. Don't give up. Take care
Take care. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Wish I lived closer to Veracruz so I could bring a meal. Take care.
hang in there, Clive. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Blessings.
Hope things get better soon. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. We're a small family in Dwarka but we're thinking of you.
Sending love, Clive. Shared it with a few friends. Put this on a community board in Curitiba this morning. Greetings from Curitiba
Thinking of you, Clive. Shared it with a few friends. Blessings.
sending strength. I hope things turn around soon. Thinking of Mandeville.
Hope it all works out. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Thinking of Mandeville.
