Pasig
When my hours were cut in half in February, I fell 4 months behind on rent. Last Tuesday a court summons for non-payment was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $200. My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by May, 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 $200 goes: • First month of rent as a buffer: $80 • Late fees and court costs: $70 • Utilities in arrears: $50 I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

  • so sorry you're going through this, Divina. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Love from Cebu City

    • Hang in there, Divina. I hope things turn around soon. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Greetings from Nice

      • Stay strong, Divina. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. I went through something like this 9 years ago and strangers helped me out. Greetings from Abuja.
