Keep a roof over Samuel's head in Taguig
After a long illness, Samuel is 3 months behind on rent and has a notice to vacate from the landlord.

When my hours were cut in half in August, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Friday a notice to vacate was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $600.
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 three school-aged 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.
The money will be paid directly to the landlord and I'll upload the receipt once it's done.
Where the $600 goes:
• Rent arrears (3 months): $400
• Late fees and court costs: $55
• Utilities in arrears: $45
• First month of rent as a buffer: $100

hope things get better soon. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too
Good luck. Shared this with my family. Wish I lived closer to Dhaka so I could bring a meal.
Thinking of you and your family, Samuel. Gave what I could, wish it was more. We're a small family in Caloocan but we're thinking of you. Love from Caloocan
Wishing you the best. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I went through something like this 5 years ago and strangers helped me out. All the best.
Take care, Samuel. Hope this works out for you. My neighbor in Cebu City donated after I showed her your page. Blessings
