Keep a roof over Marcos's head in Bucaramanga
A notice to vacate arrived last week. Marcos needs $950 to clear the arrears and stay housed in Bucaramanga.

When my hours were cut in half in August, I fell 5 months behind on rent. Last Monday a notice to vacate was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $950.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by November, we must leave.
I have three school-aged 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 $950 goes:
• Rent arrears (5 months): $590
• Late fees and court costs: $90
• Utilities in arrears: $35
• First month of rent as a buffer: $235
Thanks for being kind about this.
