Stop the eviction: 2 months of rent for Eduardo's family in Envigado
A sudden layoff left Eduardo short on rent for 2 months; help us stay in our home.
🇨🇴 Antioquia, Colombia1,696 views
When my hours were cut in half in February, I fell 2 months behind on rent. Last Wednesday a 10-day notice to quit was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $800.
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 a toddler and a baby 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 weekend shifts, 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 $800 goes:
• Rent arrears (2 months): $490
• Late fees and court costs: $80
• Utilities in arrears: $45
• First month of rent as a buffer: $185
Thank you for reading my story.

Updates from Eduardo
Wanted to say thank you properly. 42% funded and I made the first payment toward first month of rent as a buffer.
Update from Envigado: I met with the landlord and confirmed the amounts. We're at 7% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

You're not alone, Eduardo. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Blessings
Best of luck, Eduardo. Gave what I could, wish it was more. All the best
Take care, Eduardo. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. My neighbor in Aurangabad donated after I showed her your page.
Wishing you the best. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Thinking of Envigado.
Thinking of you, Eduardo. Shared this with my family.
