Keep a roof over Soledad's head in Denver

A 10-day notice to quit arrived last week. Soledad needs $3,400 to clear the arrears and stay housed in Denver.

After a sudden layoff at the call centre, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Friday a 10-day notice to quit was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $3,400. My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by August, we must leave. I've 2 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 night deliveries, 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 $3,400 goes: • Rent arrears (3 months): $1,900 • Late fees and court costs: $270 • Utilities in arrears: $290 • First month of rent as a buffer: $940 With deep gratitude, Soledad

    Rooting for you, Soledad. This could happen to any of us. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.

    • Álvaro Soto

      Hope things get better soon, Soledad. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. God bless

        Thanks for sharing this. Shared this with my family. After 30 years in social work I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Love from Nagpur

          you're not alone, Soledad. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. God bless.

            Stay strong, Soledad. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like.
