Stop the eviction: 5 months of rent for Leonardo's family in Tuxtla Gutiérrez
A delayed insurance payout left Leonardo short on rent for 5 months; help us stay in our home.
🇲🇽 Tuxtla Gutiérrez, Chiapas, Mexico1,018 views
When my hours were cut in half in August, I fell 5 months behind on rent. Last Monday a termination letter was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $1,150.
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 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 weekend shifts, 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 $1,150 goes:
• Utilities in arrears: $65
• Rent arrears (5 months): $1,000
• Late fees and court costs: $85
I hope life is good to you.

Rooting for you. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Sent it to 30 people at work. Thinking of Tuxtla Gutiérrez.
Sending love. Shared this with my family. I went through something like this 11 years ago and strangers helped me out. Greetings from Gwagwalada.
