Stop the eviction: 4 months of rent for Claudia's family in Ciudad de México
A car accident left Claudia short on rent for 4 months; help us stay in our home.

After a car accident that kept me from work for 10 weeks, I fell 4 months behind on rent. Last Friday a final eviction notice 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 December, 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 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 $950 goes:
• Rent arrears (4 months): $550
• Late fees and court costs: $125
• Utilities in arrears: $30
• First month of rent as a buffer: $245
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Ciudad de México!
Thank you. If you're in Ciudad de México I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Thanks for asking.
Hang in there, Claudia. Hope this works out for you. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Love from Bangkok
Hope things get better soon. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I have a 16 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Thinking of Ciudad de México.
Good luck. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. I have a 8 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Love from Chennai
hope you get there. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. God bless
I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. My husband and I read this together. Greetings from Tema
