Stop the eviction: 2 months of rent for Paula's family in Guadalajara

After a long illness, Paula is 2 months behind on rent and has a notice to vacate from the landlord.

When my hours were cut in half in May, I fell 2 months behind on rent. Last Wednesday a notice to vacate was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $1,000. 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 three school-aged 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 evenings as a cleaner, 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 $1,000 goes: • Rent arrears (2 months): $720 • Late fees and court costs: $50 • Utilities in arrears: $45 • First month of rent as a buffer: $185 If you're reading this, thank you.

Updates from Paula

  1. Thank you all. We're at 23% now ($233). I'm honestly stunned. we've booked the dates and paid the deposit.

  2. Good news. Because of your gifts ($168 in total) I made the first payment toward late fees and court costs. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
