Stop the eviction: 3 months of rent for Rosa's family in Barranquilla
After a sudden layoff, Rosa is 3 months behind on rent and has a final eviction notice from the landlord.

After a car accident that kept me from work for 4 weeks, Rosa fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Thursday a final eviction notice was taped to the door, and the amount owed is $1,000.
The landlord was understanding for a while, but has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by May, 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.
Rosa 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.
The money will be paid directly to the landlord and I'll upload the receipt once it's done.
Where the $1,000 goes:
• Utilities in arrears: $45
• Late fees and court costs: $70
• Rent arrears (3 months): $885
Every share and every dollar helps.

Rooting for you. Shared this with my family. I hope May is when things finally get easier. Love from Accra.
so sorry you're going through this. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. Don't be hard on yourself for asking.
take care, Sofía. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Thinking of Barranquilla.
