Miguel received an eviction notice - help us catch up on rent
The loss of a second income left Miguel short on rent for 2 months; help us stay in our home.

After a car accident that kept me from work for 4 weeks, Miguel fell 2 months behind on rent. Last Tuesday a notice to vacate was taped to the door, and the amount owed is $550.
The landlord was understanding for a while, but has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by November, 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.
Miguel has started working extra hours at a market stall, 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 $550 goes:
• Late fees and court costs: $75
• Utilities in arrears: $55
• Rent arrears (2 months): $420
Thanks for being kind about this.

Sending good thoughts, Mariana. Shared this with my family. My colleague had a similar thing happen so this one hit home
Thinking of you. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My cousin had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. God bless.
Praying for you. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Wish I lived closer to Aurangabad so I could bring a meal.
