Keep a roof over Cristian's head in Alcalá de Henares
After a divorce, Cristian is 4 months behind on rent and has a final eviction notice from the landlord.
🇪🇸 Alcalá de Henares, Madrid, Spain236 views
After a sudden layoff at the hotel, I fell 4 months behind on rent. Last Sunday a final eviction notice was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $3,000.
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 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 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 $3,000 goes:
• First month of rent as a buffer: $530
• Utilities in arrears: $200
• Rent arrears (4 months): $2,270
Thank you for reading my story.

Sending strength, Cristian. Gave what I could, wish it was more. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. All the best.
hang in there. I hope things turn around soon. Blessings
Wishing you peace. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Love from Frankfurt!
Stay strong, Cristian. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. All the best.
keep going. Hope you get there. After 8 years in construction I know how hard it is to ask for anything. Take care
