Keep a roof over Daniela's head in Madrid

A cut in working hours left Daniela short on rent for 3 months; help us stay in our home.

Madrid
When the bakery closed in August, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Monday a notice to vacate was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $2,400. 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. 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 $2,400 goes: • Utilities in arrears: $220 • Rent arrears (3 months): $2,000 • Late fees and court costs: $180 With deep gratitude, Daniela

Updates from Daniela

  1. Update from Madrid: I met with the landlord and confirmed the amounts. We're at 22% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

          Thanks for sharing this, Daniela. Your post was clear and honest. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. God bless.
