Keep a roof over Pablo's head in Bucaramanga
A final eviction notice arrived last week. Pablo needs $1,000 to clear the arrears and stay housed in Bucaramanga.

When the textile factory closed in May, I fell 2 months behind on rent. Last Thursday a final eviction notice was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $1,000.
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 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 weekend shifts, 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 $1,000 goes:
• Rent arrears (2 months): $660
• Late fees and court costs: $40
• Utilities in arrears: $90
• First month of rent as a buffer: $210
Thank you so much.

Updates from Pablo
Good news. Because of your gifts ($970 in total) the plan for late fees and court costs is now scheduled. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
23% there. I made the first payment toward first month of rent as a buffer. Thank you.

Keep going. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Greetings from Nîmes.
