Stop the eviction: 2 months of rent for Lucía's family in Coyoacán
After a cut in working hours, Lucían is 2 months behind on rent and has a termination letter from the landlord.

Following a long illness in the family, I fell 2 months behind on rent. Last Sunday a termination letter was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $600.
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 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 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.
The money will be paid directly to the landlord and I'll upload the receipt once it's done.
Where the $600 goes:
• Utilities in arrears: $55
• Rent arrears (2 months): $480
• Late fees and court costs: $65
Thank you so much.

Updates from Lucía
Thank you all. We're at 86% now ($517). I'm honestly stunned. I met with the landlord and confirmed the amounts.
Good news. Because of your gifts ($167 in total) we've started the first stage. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

Sending good thoughts, Lucía. Shared this with my family. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Thinking of Coyoacán.
