Eugene
When my hours were cut in half in August, 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 $1,250. 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 1 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. 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 $1,250 goes: • First month of rent as a buffer: $630 • Utilities in arrears: $270 • Late fees and court costs: $350 With deep gratitude, Roman

  • Praying for you, Roman. Gave what I could, wish it was more. All the best.

    • Wishing you peace, Roman. It takes guts to ask. Well done. We're a small family in San Jose but we're thinking of you. Take care.

      • Hope this works out for you. Wish I lived closer to Quezon City so I could bring a meal. God bless.

        • So sorry you're going through this. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Thinking of Eugene.

          • hope it all works out, Roman. This could happen to any of us. Sent it to 34 people at work. Thinking of Eugene.
