Stop the eviction: 2 months of rent for Emilio's family in Zapopan
A 10-day notice to quit arrived last week. Emilio needs $1,200 to clear the arrears and stay housed in Zapopan.

When my hours were cut in half in February, I fell 2 months behind on rent. Last Friday a 10-day notice to quit was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $1,200.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by May, 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 extra hours at a market stall, 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 $1,200 goes:
• Rent arrears (2 months): $740
• Late fees and court costs: $105
• Utilities in arrears: $35
• First month of rent as a buffer: $320
Every share and every dollar helps.
