Keep a roof over Rodrigo's head in Móstoles
A divorce left Rodrigo short on rent for 3 months; help us stay in our home.

After a car accident that kept me from work for 10 weeks, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Monday a court summons for non-payment was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $2,950.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by October, we must leave.
I have two young 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 evenings as a cleaner, 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 $2,950 goes:
• Rent arrears (3 months): $2,000
• Late fees and court costs: $75
• Utilities in arrears: $120
• First month of rent as a buffer: $755
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.
