Soledad received an eviction notice - help us catch up on rent

A court summons for non-payment arrived last week. Soledad needs $1,100 to clear the arrears and stay housed in Bogotá.

When my hours were cut in half in May, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Wednesday a court summons for non-payment was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $1,100. 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 have a teenager still in school 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 two part-time jobs, and I'm applying for help from local services, but nothing will arrive in time without the rest of the gap covered here. Funds go to the landlord and nowhere else. Any amount left over after the arrears are cleared will go toward next month's rent. Where the $1,100 goes: • Late fees and court costs: $65 • Rent arrears (3 months): $780 • First month of rent as a buffer: $255 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.
