After a sudden layoff at the hotel, I fell 2 months behind on rent. Last Tuesday a final eviction notice was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $1,700.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by September, 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.
The money will be paid directly to the landlord and I'll upload the receipt once it's done.
Where the $1,700 goes:
• Utilities in arrears: $90
• Late fees and court costs: $240
• Rent arrears (2 months): $1,370
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

Sending strength, Fernando. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. Thinking of Alcalá de Henares.
Take care, Fernando. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I went through something like this 11 years ago and strangers helped me out. Blessings.
Praying for you, Fernando. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My colleague had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Take care
hope things get better soon, Fernando. Hope you get there
Thinking of you, Fernando. Looking forward to the next update. I have a 7 year old who wants to send good wishes too.
You're not alone, Fernando. 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. All the best

Hang in there, Fernando. It takes guts to ask. Well done.
Hang in there. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Thinking of Alcalá de Henares
