Keep a roof over Itzel's head in Monterrey
A long illness left Itzel short on rent for 4 months; help us stay in our home.
🇲🇽 Nuevo León, Mexico665 views
When my hours were cut in half in October, Itzel fell 4 months behind on rent. Last Saturday a court summons for non-payment was taped to the door, and the amount owed is $300.
The landlord was understanding for a while, but has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by December, the family must leave.
There are 4 children at home. Moving would mean new schools, a new commute and no deposit to put down anywhere else.
Itzel 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.
The money will be paid directly to the landlord and I'll upload the receipt once it's done.
Where the $300 goes:
• First month of rent as a buffer: $175
• Utilities in arrears: $50
• Late fees and court costs: $75
I hope life is good to you.

Good luck, Sergio. Hope this works out for you. My husband and I read this together. Take care.
shared this with my family. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Greetings from Stuttgart.
Thinking of you. Shared this with my family. I went through something like this 11 years ago and strangers helped me out. Love from San Francisco.
A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. Love from Madina.
So sorry you're going through this, Sergio. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I hope December is when things finally get easier.
Praying for you. This could happen to any of us. I went through something like this 4 years ago and strangers helped me out. All the best.
Sending good thoughts. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Greetings from Pittsburgh.
