Keep a roof over Roberto's head in Zapopan

A long illness left Roberto short on rent for 3 months; help us stay in our home.

After a car accident that kept me from work for 5 weeks, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Wednesday a notice to vacate was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $1,500. 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 two young 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 $1,500 goes: • Rent arrears (3 months): $960 • Late fees and court costs: $105 • Utilities in arrears: $100 • First month of rent as a buffer: $335 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.
