Keep a roof over Lourdes's head in Monterrey

A court summons for non-payment arrived last week. Lourdes needs $950 to clear the arrears and stay housed in Monterrey.

After a car accident that kept me from work for 10 weeks, 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 July, we must leave. I have three school-aged 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 night deliveries, 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): $560 • Late fees and court costs: $70 • Utilities in arrears: $100 • First month of rent as a buffer: $220 I hope life is good to you.

        Wishing you peace, Lourdes. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Thinking of Monterrey

        • Sathish M. Ramachandran

          Stay strong, Lourdes. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Love from Mohammedia.

          • Quinn Gonzalez

            Hope things get better soon. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it.
