Keep a roof over Rubén's head in Bogotá
A delayed insurance payout left Rubén short on rent for 3 months; help us stay in our home.
🇨🇴 Bogotá, Bogotá D.C., Colombia1,102 views
When the textile factory closed in June, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Thursday a final eviction notice was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $250.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by September, 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 $250 goes:
• First month of rent as a buffer: $170
• Late fees and court costs: $40
• Utilities in arrears: $40
Glad we found this place.

sending good thoughts. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Please keep us posted. All the best.
Hope things get better soon, Rubén. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes.
Thinking of you, Rubén. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon.
you're not alone. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Greetings from Hubballi.
wishing you peace, Rubén. Shared it with a few friends. I'm in nursing myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Take care.
