Keep a roof over Sergio's head in Oaxaca de Juárez

Oaxaca de Juárez
After a sudden layoff at the bakery, I fell 4 months behind on rent. Last Thursday a final eviction notice was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $1,050. My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by December, we must leave. I've 1 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 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. Funds go to the landlord and nowhere else. Any amount left over after the arrears are cleared will go toward next month's rent. Where the $1,050 goes: • Utilities in arrears: $50 • Rent arrears (4 months): $850 • First month of rent as a buffer: $150 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot. - Sergio
