Following a long illness in the family, I fell 2 months behind on rent. Last Saturday 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 November, we must leave.
I have a toddler and a baby 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.
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:
• Rent arrears (2 months): $710
• Utilities in arrears: $95
• First month of rent as a buffer: $245
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

You're not alone. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Thinking of San Cristóbal de las Casas.
rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. All the best
Wishing you peace. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. I hope November is when things finally get easier.
can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near San Cristóbal de las Casas
Thank you. If you're in San Cristóbal de las Casas I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Fair thing to want to know.
wishing you the best, Claudia. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. All the best.
Sending love. Looking forward to the next update. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. All the best.
Wishing you peace, Claudia. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Thinking of San Cristóbal de las Casas
You're not alone, Claudia. Shared this with my family. Please keep us posted
