Keep a roof over Ricardo's head in Córdoba

After a long illness, Ricardo is 5 months behind on rent and has a court summons for non-payment from the landlord.

When the packaging plant closed in May, I fell 5 months behind on rent. Last Monday a court summons for non-payment was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $1,200. 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 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 $1,200 goes: • Rent arrears (5 months): $990 • Late fees and court costs: $90 • Utilities in arrears: $120 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot. - Ricardo
