Keep a roof over Gabriel's head in Bogotá
A car accident left Gabriel short on rent for 4 months; help us stay in our home.

When the construction firm closed in March, I fell 4 months behind on rent. Last Saturday a notice to vacate was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $1,050.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by June, 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 night deliveries, 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 $1,050 goes:
• Rent arrears (4 months): $620
• Late fees and court costs: $80
• Utilities in arrears: $45
• First month of rent as a buffer: $305
Glad we found this place.

Stay strong. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. My neighbor in Kolkata donated after I showed her your page. Blessings
Thinking of you and your family, Gabriel. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day.
sending love, Gabriel. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier.
