Keep a roof over Consuelo's head in Envigado

A divorce left Consuelo short on rent for 3 months; help us stay in our home.

When the packaging plant closed in January, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Wednesday 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 May, we must leave. I have a teenager still in school 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. 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): $670 • Utilities in arrears: $75 • First month of rent as a buffer: $205 Glad we found this place. - Consuelo

    Sending strength. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. I went through something like this 14 years ago and strangers helped me out. Take care
