A court summons for non-payment arrived last week. Víctor needs $1,000 to clear the arrears and stay housed in Coyoacán.

After a car accident that kept me from work for 3 weeks, I fell 5 months behind on rent. Last Saturday a court summons for non-payment 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 three school-aged children 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. The money will be paid directly to the landlord and I'll upload the receipt once it's done. Where the $1,000 goes: • Utilities in arrears: $80 • Rent arrears (5 months): $650 • First month of rent as a buffer: $270 Thanks for reading all this. - Víctor

    is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Víctor

    • Sending good thoughts, Víctor. This could happen to any of us. All the best.

      • How is Víctor doing now?

        • reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. God bless.

          • You're not alone. Hope you get there. My sister had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. God bless

            • Can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Coyoacán!

              • Sharing the link is the biggest thing. And if you know anything about utilities in arrears, advice is welcome too. Ask me anything else.

            • A colleague of mine might know someone for this in Ciudad de México. I'll ask around and let you know.

              • Praying for you. I hope things turn around soon. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Greetings from Pune.

                • Rooting for you. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Blessings.

                  • Take care, Víctor. Looking forward to the next update. All the best.
