Stop the eviction: 3 months of rent for Ramón's family in Monterrey
After a car accident, Ramón is 3 months behind on rent and has a final eviction notice from the landlord.
🇲🇽 Nuevo León, Mexico1,755 views
When my hours were cut in half in July, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Wednesday a final eviction notice was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $1,350.
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 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 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 $1,350 goes:
• Rent arrears (3 months): $1,050
• Late fees and court costs: $75
• Utilities in arrears: $60
• First month of rent as a buffer: $165
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Praying for you. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. We're a small family in Madurai but we're thinking of you. Greetings from Madurai!
Praying for you. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Greetings from Juazeiro do Norte.
