Stop the eviction: 5 months of rent for Fernando's family in Makati
A divorce left Fernando short on rent for 5 months; help us stay in our home.

After a sudden layoff at the construction firm, I fell 5 months behind on rent. Last Friday a notice to vacate was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $700.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by October, we must leave.
I've 2 children 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 $700 goes:
• Rent arrears (5 months): $430
• Late fees and court costs: $65
• Utilities in arrears: $55
• First month of rent as a buffer: $150
Thank you so much.

Hang in there, Fernando. Hope you get there. Don't give up.
A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. Greetings from Paris
Thinking of you, Fernando. Shared it with a few friends. Wish I lived closer to Cairo so I could bring a meal.
Best of luck, Fernando. I hope things turn around soon. I'm in hospitality myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. God bless.
Hope things get better soon, Fernando. Shared this with my family. God bless.
rooting for you, Fernando. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. All the best.
Keep going. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. After 26 years in social work I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
Wishing you the best. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Thinking of Makati.
Wishing you the best, Fernando. Looking forward to the next update. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. All the best.
Hope it all works out. Hope this works out for you. Love from Mukono
