A cut in working hours left Enrique short on rent for 3 months; help us stay in our home.

Ciudad de México
Following a long illness in the family, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Saturday a court summons for non-payment 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 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 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. The money will be paid directly to the landlord and I'll upload the receipt once it's done. Where the $1,000 goes: • Utilities in arrears: $75 • Rent arrears (3 months): $830 • Late fees and court costs: $95 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

Updates from Enrique

  1. Wanted to say thank you properly. 105% funded and I met with the landlord and confirmed the amounts.

  2. We're at 60% thanks to 9 of you. the first invoice got paid this week. More news soon.

  3. Good news. Because of your gifts ($515 in total) I made the first payment toward rent arrears. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely. - Enrique

      good luck, Enrique. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Love from San Antonio

        I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Thinking of Ciudad de México.

        • Marlene K. Van der Merwe

          gave what I could, wish it was more. Sent it to 15 people at work. Thinking of Ciudad de México.

          • Diya P. Dhawan

              Wishing you the best, Enrique. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did

              • Ji-yeon Na-young Cha

                Keep going. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. I'm in retail myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you.

                • Anwar Hadi Sarkis

                  Thinking of you and your family. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money.
