A notice to vacate arrived last week. Rocío needs $1,100 to clear the arrears and stay housed in Puebla.

When my hours were cut in half in September, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Sunday a notice to vacate was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $1,100.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by January, we must leave.
I have a toddler and a baby 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 night deliveries, 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 $1,100 goes:
• Utilities in arrears: $35
• First month of rent as a buffer: $240
• Rent arrears (3 months): $825
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

Hang in there, Rocío. Shared this with my family. I'll check back for the next update. Blessings.
Wishing you the best, Rocío. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Greetings from Nîmes.
can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Puebla
Thank you. If you're in Puebla I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Thanks for asking.
So sorry you're going through this, Rocío. Hope you get there. God bless
Thanks for sharing this, Rocío. Looking forward to the next update. I'm in construction myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Thinking of Puebla
Thanks for sharing this, Rocío. Shared it with a few friends. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.
Sending good thoughts, Rocío. Hope you get there. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Greetings from Mumbai!
