Keep a roof over Rocío's head in Envigado
A cut in working hours left Rocío short on rent for 5 months; help us stay in our home.

After a sudden layoff at the construction firm, I fell 5 months behind on rent. Last Friday a notice to vacate was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $850.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by December, we must leave.
I have a toddler and a baby 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 two part-time jobs, 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 $850 goes:
• Rent arrears (5 months): $430
• Late fees and court costs: $90
• Utilities in arrears: $95
• First month of rent as a buffer: $235
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

hope things get better soon, Rocío. Looking forward to the next update. All the best.
Sending love, Rocío. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Sent it to 30 people at work. Greetings from Newcastle.
best of luck, Rocío. Hope you get there. Thinking of Envigado.
