Keep a roof over Gemma's head in Mandaue
After a sudden layoff, Gemma is 3 months behind on rent and has a notice to vacate from the landlord.
🇵🇭 Mandaue, Cebu, Philippines275 views
After a car accident that kept me from work for 12 weeks, Gemma fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Saturday a notice to vacate was taped to the door, and the amount owed is $750.
The landlord was understanding for a while, but has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by November, the family must leave.
There are a teenager still in school at home. Moving would mean new schools, a new commute and no deposit to put down anywhere else.
Gemma has started working night deliveries, 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 $750 goes:
• Utilities in arrears: $15
• Rent arrears (3 months): $590
• First month of rent as a buffer: $145
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

You're not alone, Aileen. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. God bless.
Thinking of you and your family. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Take care.
Good luck. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. I went through something like this 2 years ago and strangers helped me out. God bless.
Sending strength, Aileen. Hope you get there. Blessings.
You're not alone, Aileen. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I went through something like this 8 years ago and strangers helped me out
