Keep a roof over Mary Grace's head in Manila
After the closure of the factory, Mary Grace is 4 months behind on rent and has a final eviction notice from the landlord.
🇵🇭 Metro Manila, Philippines870 views
When my hours were cut in half in June, I fell 4 months behind on rent. Last Saturday a final eviction notice was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $750.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by September, 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 weekend shifts, 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 $750 goes:
• Rent arrears (4 months): $580
• Late fees and court costs: $35
• Utilities in arrears: $35
• First month of rent as a buffer: $100
Thank you so much.

How is Mary Grace doing now?
Good luck, Mary Grace. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. God bless.

Thinking of you and your family, Mary Grace. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Put this on a community board in Kikuyu this morning. Thinking of Manila
