Keep a roof over Fernando's head in Manila

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

When my hours were cut in half in July, Fernando fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Wednesday a notice to vacate was taped to the door, and the amount owed is $650. The landlord was understanding for a while, but has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by September, the family must leave. There are 4 children at home. Moving would mean new schools, a new commute and no deposit to put down anywhere else. Fernando has started working weekend shifts, and is 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 $650 goes: • Rent arrears (3 months): $590 • Utilities in arrears: $30 • Late fees and court costs: $30 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.
