Stop the eviction: 4 months of rent for Francisco's family in Tijuana
A termination letter arrived last week. Francisco needs $1,250 to clear the arrears and stay housed in Tijuana.

Following a long illness in the family, I fell 4 months behind on rent. Last Monday a termination letter was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $1,250.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by November, 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 two part-time jobs, and I'm applying for help from local services, but nothing will arrive in time without the rest of the gap covered here.
Funds go to the landlord and nowhere else. Any amount left over after the arrears are cleared will go toward next month's rent.
Where the $1,250 goes:
• Rent arrears (4 months): $940
• Late fees and court costs: $50
• Utilities in arrears: $95
• First month of rent as a buffer: $165
I hope life is good to you.

good luck, Francisco. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. My husband and I read this together.
This could happen to any of us. Wish I lived closer to Latina so I could bring a meal!
