Stop the eviction: 5 months of rent for Arturo's family in Ciudad de México
After the loss of a second income, Arturo is 5 months behind on rent and has a termination letter from the landlord.

When my hours were cut in half in December, I fell 5 months behind on rent. Last Monday a termination letter was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $1,650.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by April, 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 $1,650 goes:
• Rent arrears (5 months): $1,150
• Late fees and court costs: $70
• Utilities in arrears: $90
• First month of rent as a buffer: $340
Thanks for reading all this.

Thinking of you. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. God bless
Looking forward to the next update. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Love from Sacramento.
Rooting for you, Arturo. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry!
