Regina received an eviction notice - help us catch up on rent
A divorce left Regina short on rent for 3 months; help us stay in our home.
🇨🇴 Cali, Valle del Cauca, Colombia1,843 views
After a sudden layoff at the construction firm, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Friday a court summons for non-payment was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $700.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by May, we must leave.
I've 1 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 evenings as a cleaner, 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 $700 goes:
• Rent arrears (3 months): $470
• Late fees and court costs: $45
• Utilities in arrears: $65
• First month of rent as a buffer: $120
With deep gratitude,
Regina

Good news. Because of your gifts ($213 in total) I met with the landlord and confirmed the amounts. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
