Keep a roof over Miguel's head in Bacolod
The loss of a second income left Miguel short on rent for 3 months; help us stay in our home.

When the hotel closed in July, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Sunday a 10-day notice to quit was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $500.
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 a toddler and a baby 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 two part-time jobs, 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 $500 goes:
• Rent arrears (3 months): $260
• Late fees and court costs: $25
• Utilities in arrears: $20
• First month of rent as a buffer: $195
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

praying for you, Miguel. I hope things turn around soon. After 18 years in public service I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
Sending good thoughts. This could happen to any of us. My neighbor in Quezon City donated after I showed her your page.
praying for you, Miguel. Your post was clear and honest. Don't give up. God bless.
Good luck, Miguel. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Please keep us posted. Greetings from Curitiba
