Keep a roof over Julián's head in Medellín
The closure of the factory left Julián short on rent for 4 months; help us stay in our home.
🇨🇴 Medellín, Antioquia, Colombia2,591 views
When my hours were cut in half in March, I fell 4 months behind on rent. Last Friday a court summons for non-payment was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $900.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by July, we must leave.
I have a teenager still in school 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.
The money will be paid directly to the landlord and I'll upload the receipt once it's done.
Where the $900 goes:
• Rent arrears (4 months): $780
• Late fees and court costs: $90
• Utilities in arrears: $30
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Sending love. Your post was clear and honest. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Thinking of Medellín.
Shared it with a few friends. It's not much but it's yours. Love from Tamale
Hang in there, Julián. I hope things turn around soon. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Greetings from Jakarta Barat.
