Stop the eviction: 5 months of rent for Rocío's family in San Sebastián
A long illness left Rocío short on rent for 5 months; help us stay in our home.

After a sudden layoff at the hotel, I fell 5 months behind on rent. Last Wednesday a court summons for non-payment was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $2,950.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by April, 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 weekend shifts, and I'm 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 $2,950 goes:
• Rent arrears (5 months): $2,000
• Late fees and court costs: $210
• Utilities in arrears: $120
• First month of rent as a buffer: $620

Is there anything that isn't money that would help Rocío?
Thank you. If you're in San Sebastián I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Good question.
hang in there. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon
thinking of you. Your post was clear and honest. Don't be hard on yourself for asking.
Hope it all works out. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. We're a small family in Tema but we're thinking of you
I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Thinking of San Sebastián
