Stop the eviction: 5 months of rent for Rodel's family in Taguig
The closure of the factory left Rodel short on rent for 5 months; help us stay in our home.
🇵🇭 Taguig, Metro Manila, Philippines421 views
When the construction firm closed in July, I fell 5 months behind on rent. Last Sunday a court summons for non-payment was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $850.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by November, we must leave.
I've 3 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 evenings as a cleaner, 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 $850 goes:
• Rent arrears (5 months): $590
• Late fees and court costs: $45
• Utilities in arrears: $50
• First month of rent as a buffer: $165
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Hope it all works out, Rodel. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Take care.
Sending strength. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I hope November is when things finally get easier. Greetings from Peshawar.
how is Rodel doing now?
You're not alone. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I'll check back for the next update. Take care.
Can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Taguig!
Thank you. If you're in Taguig I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Ask me anything else.
So sorry you're going through this. This could happen to any of us. My neighbor in Shubra donated after I showed her your page. God bless!
best of luck, Rodel. I hope things turn around soon. Please keep us posted. Thinking of Taguig.
So sorry you're going through this, Rodel. Shared this with my family. I'm in engineering myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Blessings.
