Stop the eviction: 5 months of rent for Pablo's family in Ciudad de México
The loss of a second income left Pablo short on rent for 5 months; help us stay in our home.

Following a long illness in the family, I fell 5 months behind on rent. Last Saturday a termination letter was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $1,000.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by October, 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 $1,000 goes:
• Rent arrears (5 months): $630
• Late fees and court costs: $75
• Utilities in arrears: $75
• First month of rent as a buffer: $220
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

Wishing you peace, Pablo. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. Sent it to 12 people at work. All the best
Gave what I could, wish it was more. Please keep us posted. Greetings from Alcalá de Henares.
Good luck, Pablo. Your post was clear and honest. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. God bless.
Praying for you, Pablo. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My husband and I read this together. Love from Leeds.
everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Greetings from La Plata
Rooting for you, Pablo. Hope you get there. My neighbor had a similar thing happen so this one hit home
Hope things get better soon. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. My husband and I read this together.
you're not alone, Pablo. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. All the best.
