Keep a roof over Soledad's head in Puebla
After the loss of a second income, Soledad is 5 months behind on rent and has a notice to vacate from the landlord.

When my hours were cut in half in August, I fell 5 months behind on rent. Last Tuesday a notice to vacate was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $1,150.
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've 2 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 two part-time jobs, 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 $1,150 goes:
• Rent arrears (5 months): $720
• Late fees and court costs: $110
• Utilities in arrears: $40
• First month of rent as a buffer: $280
Thank you so much.
