Stop the eviction: 3 months of rent for Ximena's family in Miami

After a car accident, Ximena is 3 months behind on rent and has a termination letter from the landlord.

When the bakery closed in March, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Sunday a termination letter was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $3,300. My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by July, 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 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. The money will be paid directly to the landlord and I'll upload the receipt once it's done. Where the $3,300 goes: • Rent arrears (3 months): $2,100 • Late fees and court costs: $310 • Utilities in arrears: $115 • First month of rent as a buffer: $775 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure. - Ximena
