Stop the eviction: 3 months of rent for Rowena's family in Quezon City
A cut in working hours left Rowena short on rent for 3 months; help us stay in our home.

When the bakery closed in May, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Saturday a termination letter was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $500.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by August, we must leave.
I have a toddler and a baby 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 $500 goes:
• Rent arrears (3 months): $370
• Utilities in arrears: $65
• Late fees and court costs: $65
Glad we found this place.

is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Rowena.
Rent arrears (3 months) is $370 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Thanks for asking.
Keep going, Rowena. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. All the best.
Best of luck. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Don't give up. Thinking of Quezon City
take care, Rowena. Your post was clear and honest. Greetings from Kinondoni.
Best of luck, Rowena. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day.
wishing you peace, Rowena. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I went through something like this 12 years ago and strangers helped me out.
Good luck, Rowena. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Blessings
shared this with my family. My husband and I read this together. Love from Buenos Aires.
hope it all works out, Rowena. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Greetings from Los Angeles
good luck, Rowena. This could happen to any of us. Wish I lived closer to Karlsruhe so I could bring a meal. Thinking of Quezon City
good luck, Rowena. Hope you get there. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. All the best.
