Keep a roof over Valentina's head in Hialeah

After a cut in working hours, Valentina is 5 months behind on rent and has a termination letter from the landlord.

Hialeah
When my hours were cut in half in December, Valentina fell 5 months behind on rent. Last Friday a termination letter was taped to the door, and the amount owed is $3,050. The landlord was understanding for a while, but has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by April, the family must leave. There are two young children at home. Moving would mean new schools, a new commute and no deposit to put down anywhere else. Valentina has started working evenings as a cleaner, and is 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 $3,050 goes: • Rent arrears (5 months): $1,950 • Late fees and court costs: $350 • Utilities in arrears: $280 • First month of rent as a buffer: $470 If you're reading this, thank you. - Claudia

Updates from Claudia

  1. Good news. Because of your gifts ($1,478 in total) I made the first payment toward first month of rent as a buffer. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
