When the restaurant closed in January, I fell 5 months behind on rent. Last Tuesday a final eviction notice was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $1,850. 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 have a toddler and a baby 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 $1,850 goes: • Rent arrears (5 months): $930 • Late fees and court costs: $75 • Utilities in arrears: $195 • First month of rent as a buffer: $650 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

Updates from Yolanda

Update from A Coruña: we've started the first stage. We're at 21% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.
We're at 16% thanks to 8 of you. I made the first payment toward first month of rent as a buffer. More news soon.
Good news. Because of your gifts ($238 in total) I made the first payment toward utilities in arrears. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
