Keep a roof over Guadalupe's head in Ciudad de México

After a car accident, Guadalupe is 3 months behind on rent and has a court summons for non-payment from the landlord.

Ciudad de México
Following a long illness in the family, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Thursday a court summons for non-payment was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $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 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 two part-time jobs, 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 $950 goes: • Rent arrears (3 months): $450 • Late fees and court costs: $105 • Utilities in arrears: $110 • First month of rent as a buffer: $285 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself. - Guadalupe

    Hang in there, Guadalupe. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. I have a 9 year old who wants to send good wishes too.

          Rooting for you. This could happen to any of us. Wish I lived closer to Quezon City so I could bring a meal. All the best.
