Stop the eviction: 3 months of rent for Fe's family in Cebu City
The loss of a second income left Fe short on rent for 3 months; help us stay in our home.
🇵🇭 Cebu City, Cebu, Philippines822 views
Following a long illness in the family, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Tuesday a 10-day notice to quit was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $550.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by February, we must leave.
I've 2 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 extra hours at a market stall, 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 $550 goes:
• Rent arrears (3 months): $350
• Late fees and court costs: $25
• Utilities in arrears: $45
• First month of rent as a buffer: $130
With deep gratitude,
Fe

Hang in there, Fe. I hope things turn around soon. I'm in nursing myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Thinking of Cebu City
this could happen to any of us. Sent it to 21 people at work
Sending strength. I hope things turn around soon. It's not much but it's yours. God bless
how is Fe doing now?
Hope things get better soon, Fe. Gave what I could, wish it was more. We're a small family in Minneapolis but we're thinking of you
is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Fe.
Sure. The biggest one is rent arrears (3 months), $350. The rest is in the list at the bottom of the post and I'll upload receipts as I pay each one. Fair thing to want to know.
Sending strength. Hope this works out for you. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Take care
This could happen to any of us. Love from Tiruchirappalli

A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Thinking of Cebu City.
praying for you, Fe. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Love from Rohini.
Stay strong, Fe. Gave what I could, wish it was more. We're a small family in Embakasi but we're thinking of you. Greetings from Embakasi.
hope it all works out. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My colleague had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
