Keep a roof over Erica's head in Manila
After a delayed insurance payout, Erica is 3 months behind on rent and has a final eviction notice from the landlord.
🇵🇭 Manila, Metro Manila, Philippines1,040 views
When my hours were cut in half in August, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Sunday a final eviction notice was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $750.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by October, we must leave.
I've 1 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 evenings as a cleaner, 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 $750 goes:
• First month of rent as a buffer: $115
• Rent arrears (3 months): $620
• Utilities in arrears: $15
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Hope it all works out, Erica. Your post was clear and honest. Thinking of Manila.
Wishing you peace, Erica. Hope you get there. I hope October is when things finally get easier.
You're not alone, Erica. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. Greetings from Awka.
