A court summons for non-payment arrived last week. Ricardo needs $1,250 to clear the arrears and stay housed in Ciudad de México.

When my hours were cut in half in July, I fell 5 months behind on rent. Last Thursday a court summons for non-payment was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $1,250.
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 teenager still in school 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 $1,250 goes:
• Rent arrears (5 months): $920
• Late fees and court costs: $70
• Utilities in arrears: $100
• First month of rent as a buffer: $160
With deep gratitude,
Ricardo

How is Ricardo doing now?
Stay strong. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon.
Is there anything that isn't money that would help Ricardo?
Hope things get better soon. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Greetings from Tuxtla Gutiérrez.
Take care, Ricardo. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Thinking of Ciudad de México.
You're not alone. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Blessings.
Sending good thoughts. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Thinking of Ciudad de México.
Hope it all works out. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better.
Sending strength, Ricardo. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together
