Keep a roof over Cristian's head in Bogotá
A termination letter arrived last week. Cristian needs $950 to clear the arrears and stay housed in Bogotá.

When my hours were cut in half in August, I fell 5 months behind on rent. Last Thursday a termination letter 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 November, 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 weekend shifts, 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 (5 months): $570
• Late fees and court costs: $110
• Utilities in arrears: $75
• First month of rent as a buffer: $195
Thank you so much.

Praying for you, Cristian. Gave what I could, wish it was more
Gave what I could, wish it was more. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Thinking of Bogotá.
everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Wish I lived closer to Daegu so I could bring a meal. Take care.
good luck, Cristian. Hope this works out for you. Thinking of Bogotá.
Wishing you the best, Cristian. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Blessings.
Wishing you peace, Cristian. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Take care.

Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Love from Kraków.
Take care, Cristian. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together.
Take care, Cristian. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. After 29 years in nursing I know how hard it is to ask for anything. Thinking of Bogotá
