La Plata
After a car accident that kept me from work for 10 weeks, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Friday a termination letter was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $950. My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by July, we must leave. I have a teenager still in school 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 evenings as a cleaner, 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 $950 goes: • Utilities in arrears: $60 • Rent arrears (3 months): $670 • First month of rent as a buffer: $220 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

Updates from Armando

  1. Thank you all. We're at 14% now ($130). I'm honestly stunned. I met with the landlord and confirmed the amounts.

  2. Thank you all. We're at 11% now ($100). I'm honestly stunned. I made the first payment toward rent arrears.

  3. Update from La Plata: the plan for utilities in arrears is now scheduled. We're at 5% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.
