Keep a roof over Ramón's head in Girona
A delayed insurance payout left Ramón 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 Thursday a 10-day notice to quit was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $2,400.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by August, 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.
The money will be paid directly to the landlord and I'll upload the receipt once it's done.
Where the $2,400 goes:
• Utilities in arrears: $85
• Rent arrears (3 months): $2,050
• Late fees and court costs: $265
Every share and every dollar helps.

Thank you all. We're at 2% now ($45). I'm honestly stunned. I met with the landlord and confirmed the amounts.

I hope things turn around soon. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Thinking of Girona.
is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Ramón!
The list at the bottom is the whole picture. utilities in arrears is the biggest at $85. Fair thing to want to know.
Hang in there, Ramón. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Thinking of Girona
thinking of you, Ramón. Shared it with a few friends. Put this on a community board in Bergamo this morning.
Praying for you. Hope this works out for you. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Take care.
You're not alone, Ramón. Hope you get there. All the best.
Wishing you the best. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. God bless.
You're not alone, Ramón. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Take care.
Thinking of you and your family. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. I hope August is when things finally get easier. Love from Shinjuku.
