Stop the eviction: 5 months of rent for Miguel's family in Quezon City

A final eviction notice arrived last week. Miguel needs $500 to clear the arrears and stay housed in Quezon City.

After a car accident that kept me from work for 8 weeks, I fell 5 months behind on rent. Last Wednesday a final eviction notice 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 December, we must leave. I have a teenager still in school 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 night deliveries, 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: โ€ข Rent arrears (5 months): $320 โ€ข First month of rent as a buffer: $130 โ€ข Utilities in arrears: $50 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.
