After the closure of the factory, Inés is 2 months behind on rent and has a 10-day notice to quit from the landlord.

When the restaurant closed in February, I fell 2 months behind on rent. Last Thursday a 10-day notice to quit was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $1,400.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by April, we must leave.
I've 4 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 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 $1,400 goes:
• Late fees and court costs: $155
• Rent arrears (2 months): $1,050
• Utilities in arrears: $195
With deep gratitude,
Inés

Updates from Inés
Good news. Because of your gifts ($56 in total) we've booked the dates and paid the deposit. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
Update from Madrid: we've started the first stage. We're at 4% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us. - Inés

Sending love, Inés. I hope things turn around soon. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. God bless
I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Take care
Stay strong. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps
Wishing you the best, Inés. Looking forward to the next update. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Greetings from Ciudad de México.

Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. After 29 years in nursing I know how hard it's to ask for anything. God bless
Sending love, Inés. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it
