Stop the eviction: 3 months of rent for Óscar's family in Madrid
A divorce left Óscar short on rent for 3 months; help us stay in our home.

After a car accident that kept me from work for 8 weeks, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Sunday a termination letter was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $2,600.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by June, 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 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 $2,600 goes:
• Rent arrears (3 months): $2,250
• Late fees and court costs: $145
• Utilities in arrears: $205
Thank you for reading my story.

Thinking of you, Óscar. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. Blessings.
take care, Óscar. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Take care
Wishing you peace, Óscar. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. I went through something like this 8 years ago and strangers helped me out. Greetings from Takoradi
Stay strong. Hope you get there. Please keep us posted. Thinking of Madrid.
keep going, Óscar. I hope things turn around soon. All the best.
So sorry you're going through this, Óscar. Shared it with a few friends. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Love from Arlington.
