Stop the eviction: 3 months of rent for Aileen's family in Davao City
After a long illness, Aileen is 3 months behind on rent and has a notice to vacate from the landlord.

When the textile factory closed in August, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Monday a notice to vacate was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $700.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by November, 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 two part-time jobs, 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 $700 goes:
• Rent arrears (3 months): $480
• Late fees and court costs: $60
• Utilities in arrears: $50
• First month of rent as a buffer: $110
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Keep going, Aileen. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We're a small family in Guarulhos but we're thinking of you. Thinking of Davao City.
hope things get better soon, Aileen. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Love from Nagpur!
