Stop the eviction: 4 months of rent for Rubén's family in Tlaquepaque
The closure of the factory left Rubén short on rent for 4 months; help us stay in our home.

When my hours were cut in half in August, I fell 4 months behind on rent. Last Wednesday a 10-day notice to quit was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $1,450.
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 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.
The money will be paid directly to the landlord and I'll upload the receipt once it's done.
Where the $1,450 goes:
• Rent arrears (4 months): $1,050
• Late fees and court costs: $80
• Utilities in arrears: $45
• First month of rent as a buffer: $275
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Praying for you, Rubén. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Don't give up. Greetings from Bronx
Hang in there. Hope you get there. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. God bless.
