Stop the eviction: 3 months of rent for Daniel's family in Madrid
After the loss of a second income, Daniel is 3 months behind on rent and has a court summons for non-payment from the landlord.

After a sudden layoff at the construction firm, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Friday a court summons for non-payment 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 three school-aged 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 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.
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 $700 goes:
• Utilities in arrears: $80
• Late fees and court costs: $90
• First month of rent as a buffer: $530
Thank you so much.

Sending love, Daniel. It takes guts to ask. Well done. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Thinking of Madrid.
It takes guts to ask. Well done. Wish I lived closer to Kaduna so I could bring a meal
So sorry you're going through this. I hope things turn around soon. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Greetings from Vitória da Conquista.
praying for you. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Sent it to 6 people at work. Take care.
Hang in there, Daniel. Hope you get there. All the best.
