Keep a roof over Mateo's head in Alicante
A notice to vacate arrived last week. Mateo needs $2,050 to clear the arrears and stay housed in Alicante.

Following a long illness in the family, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Thursday a notice to vacate was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $2,050.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by March, we must leave.
I've 2 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 $2,050 goes:
• Rent arrears (3 months): $1,700
• Late fees and court costs: $140
• Utilities in arrears: $210
Thank you for reading my story.

Hope things get better soon, Mateo. Shared this with my family. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Greetings from Contagem.
