Keep a roof over Nenita's head in Cebu City

A divorce left Nenita short on rent for 3 months; help us stay in our home.

After a sudden layoff at the hotel, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Tuesday a termination letter was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $700. My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by October, 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 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. The money will be paid directly to the landlord and I'll upload the receipt once it's done. Where the $700 goes: • Rent arrears (3 months): $400 • Late fees and court costs: $45 • Utilities in arrears: $50 • First month of rent as a buffer: $205 Glad we found this place.

  1. Good news. Because of your gifts ($15 in total) the first invoice got paid this week. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely. - Nenita

  2. Update from Cebu City: I met with the landlord and confirmed the amounts. We're at 2% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.
