Stop the eviction: 3 months of rent for Andrés's family in Palmira
A final eviction notice arrived last week. Andrés needs $900 to clear the arrears and stay housed in Palmira.

When my hours were cut in half in August, Andrés fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Saturday a final eviction notice was taped to the door, and the amount owed is $900.
The landlord was understanding for a while, but has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by November, the family must leave.
There are a teenager still in school at home. Moving would mean new schools, a new commute and no deposit to put down anywhere else.
Andrés has started working weekend shifts, and is 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 $900 goes:
• Rent arrears (3 months): $600
• Late fees and court costs: $75
• Utilities in arrears: $65
• First month of rent as a buffer: $160

Praying for you, Nuria. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. I went through something like this 4 years ago and strangers helped me out. God bless.
hope things get better soon. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I'm in social work myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. God bless.
Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. I have a 12 year old who wants to send good wishes too.
