Keep a roof over Orlando's head in Lapu-Lapu
After the loss of a second income, Orlando is 3 months behind on rent and has a court summons for non-payment from the landlord.

After a car accident that kept me from work for 8 weeks, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Monday a court summons for non-payment 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 July, 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 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.
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 $500 goes:
• Late fees and court costs: $30
• Rent arrears (3 months): $300
• First month of rent as a buffer: $170
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.
