Keep a roof over Regina's head in Barranquilla

Barranquilla
Following a long illness in the family, Regina fell 5 months behind on rent. Last Friday a 10-day notice to quit was taped to the door, and the amount owed is $900. The landlord was understanding for a while, but has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by February, the family must leave. There are a teenager still in school at home. Moving would mean new schools, a new commute and no deposit to put down anywhere else. Regina has started working two part-time jobs, and is 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 $900 goes: • Rent arrears (5 months): $800 • Late fees and court costs: $40 • Utilities in arrears: $60 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

      Hang in there. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. We're a small family in Celaya but we're thinking of you. Take care.
