Stop the eviction: 3 months of rent for Sheila's family in Manila
After a delayed insurance payout, Sheila is 3 months behind on rent and has a termination letter from the landlord.

When the hotel closed in September, Sheila fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Tuesday a termination letter was taped to the door, and the amount owed is $550.
The landlord was understanding for a while, but has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by December, the family must leave.
There are a toddler and a baby at home. Moving would mean new schools, a new commute and no deposit to put down anywhere else.
Sheila has started working evenings as a cleaner, 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 $550 goes:
• First month of rent as a buffer: $160
• Rent arrears (3 months): $340
• Late fees and court costs: $50
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

Is there anything that isn't money that would help Sheila?
Sharing the link is the biggest thing. And if you know anything about first month of rent as a buffer, advice is welcome too. Ask me anything else.
