Keep a roof over Noel's head in Quezon City
The closure of the factory left Noel short on rent for 2 months; help us stay in our home.
🇵🇭 Philippines801 views
After a sudden layoff at the packaging plant, I fell 2 months behind on rent. Last Sunday a termination letter was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $600.
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 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 extra hours at a market stall, 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 $600 goes:
• Rent arrears (2 months): $440
• Utilities in arrears: $50
• First month of rent as a buffer: $110
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

best of luck, Noel. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Love from Hialeah.
Is there anything that isn't money that would help Noel?
Sharing the link is the biggest thing. And if you know anything about rent arrears (2 months), advice is welcome too. Ask me anything else.
Hope it all works out, Noel. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. After 6 years in farming I know how hard it's to ask for anything. All the best.
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Noel.
Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. rent arrears (2 months) comes first ($440) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. Happy to explain more.
sending strength, Noel. Hope you get there. Don't be hard on yourself for asking.
shared it with a few friends. I have a 8 year old who wants to send good wishes too.
Hope things get better soon, Noel. Gave what I could, wish it was more. All the best.
Thinking of you and your family, Noel. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Greetings from Bangkok
your post was clear and honest. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Love from Parma.
Keep going, Noel. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together
Thinking of you, Noel. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. My neighbor in Duluth donated after I showed her your page.
