Keep a roof over Marisol's head in Ciudad de México
After a divorce, Marisol is 4 months behind on rent and has a court summons for non-payment from the landlord.

After a sudden layoff at the restaurant, I fell 4 months behind on rent. Last Saturday a court summons for non-payment was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $1,100.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by November, 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 weekend shifts, 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 $1,100 goes:
• Rent arrears (4 months): $740
• Late fees and court costs: $65
• Utilities in arrears: $40
• First month of rent as a buffer: $255
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Small update. $607 so far, the plan for rent arrears is now scheduled.
Wanted to say thank you properly. 31% funded and I made the first payment toward utilities in arrears.
