Keep a roof over Ricardo's head in Buenos Aires
The loss of a second income left Ricardo short on rent for 3 months; help us stay in our home.

When my hours were cut in half in October, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Thursday a notice to vacate was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $550.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by March, we must leave.
I've 3 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.
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 $550 goes:
• Late fees and court costs: $35
• Utilities in arrears: $90
• Rent arrears (3 months): $425
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Good luck. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Blessings.
Wishing you the best, Ricardo. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. After 30 years in customer support I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Love from Contagem.
