Stop the eviction: 3 months of rent for Nicolás's family in Ciudad de México
The closure of the factory left Nicolás short on rent for 3 months; help us stay in our home.

After a car accident that kept me from work for 3 weeks, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Thursday a final eviction notice was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $1,050.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by April, we must leave.
I have two young 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.
The money will be paid directly to the landlord and I'll upload the receipt once it's done.
Where the $1,050 goes:
• Utilities in arrears: $75
• Late fees and court costs: $40
• Rent arrears (3 months): $935
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Updates from Nicolás
Thank you all. We're at 16% now ($163). I'm honestly stunned. I made the first payment toward late fees and court costs.

Hope things get better soon, Nicolás. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Take care!
Sending love. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I hope April is when things finally get easier
