Stop the eviction: 2 months of rent for Abril's family in Medellín
A court summons for non-payment arrived last week. Abril needs $950 to clear the arrears and stay housed in Medellín.

When the hotel closed in February, I fell 2 months behind on rent. Last Sunday a court summons for non-payment was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $950.
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 have two young 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.
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 $950 goes:
• First month of rent as a buffer: $195
• Rent arrears (2 months): $690
• Late fees and court costs: $65
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.
