Stop the eviction: 3 months of rent for Lourdes's family in Mexicali
A termination letter arrived last week. Lourdes needs $950 to clear the arrears and stay housed in Mexicali.

When the call centre closed in July, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Wednesday a termination letter was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $950.
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've 3 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 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.
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 $950 goes:
• Late fees and court costs: $95
• First month of rent as a buffer: $310
• Rent arrears (3 months): $545
Thank you for reading my story.

Sending strength. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Wish I lived closer to Comilla so I could bring a meal. Take care.
Stay strong, Lourdes. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. All the best.
