Keep a roof over Paloma's head in Irapuato
A notice to vacate arrived last week. Paloma needs $250 to clear the arrears and stay housed in Irapuato.

When the packaging plant closed in July, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Wednesday a notice to vacate was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $250.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by October, 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 evenings as a cleaner, 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 $250 goes:
• Utilities in arrears: $60
• Late fees and court costs: $45
• First month of rent as a buffer: $145
Thanks for being kind about this.

can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Irapuato.
Thank you. If you're in Irapuato I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. I'll keep the page updated.
Hang in there, Paloma. Shared this with my family. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Blessings!
Rooting for you, Paloma. Shared it with a few friends. Greetings from Aurangabad
