Help Mauricio keep his home - 4 months behind on rent

When my hours were cut in half in May, Mauricio fell 4 months behind on rent. Last Thursday a court summons for non-payment was taped to the door, and the amount owed is $550. The landlord was understanding for a while, but has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by July, the family must leave. There are two young children at home. Moving would mean new schools, a new commute and no deposit to put down anywhere else. Mauricio has started working extra hours at a market stall, and is 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 $550 goes: • Utilities in arrears: $105 • First month of rent as a buffer: $290 • Late fees and court costs: $155 If you're reading this, thank you.
