Stop the eviction: 2 months of rent for Yolanda's family in Alcalá de Henares
After a divorce, Yolanda is 2 months behind on rent and has a final eviction notice from the landlord.
🇪🇸 Alcalá de Henares, Madrid, Spain2,665 views
After a car accident that kept me from work for 7 weeks, I fell 2 months behind on rent. Last Thursday a final eviction notice was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $2,350.
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 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.
The money will be paid directly to the landlord and I'll upload the receipt once it's done.
Where the $2,350 goes:
• Rent arrears (2 months): $1,450
• Late fees and court costs: $220
• Utilities in arrears: $200
• First month of rent as a buffer: $480
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.
