<div>My name is S, I am a resident of Lower Allston, and a friend and neighbor of C and M, whose story I'll share below with their permission. I'm also a community organizer with a handful of organizations in the neighborhood.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>C, M, and their children have lived in Lower Allston since they moved here from El Salvador 7 years ago.<strong> After all 7 years in the same apartment, our landlords (owners of a local dry cleaning business) are refusing to renew C and M's lease. As an immigrant family, C and M have done all they could to be good tenants. However, paying rent on time and in cash, handling snow and trash removal, and not complaining about unsafe and out of compliance conditions did not protect them from the landlords' sudden decision to kick them out with only a few months notice.</strong> Now that C and M have called the city inspector about waterlogged and moldy ceilings in the bathroom and family bedroom, cockroaches, a broken extractor fan in the kitchen, faulty radiators and other compliance issues, several members of the landlords family have been showing up unannounced to yell at the family. C and M understand the landlords' refusal to bring the apartment into good condition, and their refusal to renew their lease, is an act of racism, especially since people in the other two apartments (myself included) were not told to leave.

<div><strong>Before, C and M just wanted the landlords to address these compliance issues and to remain tenants in good standing, but after the verbal abuse and gaslighting from the landlord and their extended family (daughter, brother), they are looking for safe and long-term accommodations in the area where they work and send their children to school. As renters with a large family, and only weeks of notice, C and M need financial support to move. </strong>Their current apartment is $3,000 for 3 bedrooms, and they hope to find something similar. The funds from this GoFundMe will go toward paying First Month, Last Month, and Security Deposit for their new home. If you've ever moved in Boston, you know unexpected costs come up, so this is the bare minimum to help them land safely. If you've ever moved with your whole family, you know how difficult it can be to find an apartment for everyone that won't negatively affect school and work.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>In Allston, and the Boston area, many of us do what we can to support our immigrant neighbors. This is a moment for us to each help a little bit to make a big positive impact for C and M.</strong> With conditions in Allston getting harder for immigrants, including being cut off from SNAP EBT benefits, losing loved ones to ICE raids, and increased racism from landlords, we can all make a difference in our neighbors lives.

<div>Please contribute what you can, and share with friends and neighbors.

<div>Me llamo S, yo soy residente de Lower Allston e amige/vecine de C y M. Comparto su historia aquí con su permiso. También soy activista comunitario con varias organizaciones en nuestro barrio. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>C y M han vivido en Lower Allston con sus niños desde que se mudaron de El Salvador, hace siete años. Después de siete años en el mismo apartamento, nuestros caseros (dueños de una tintorería local) se negaron a renovar su contrato. Como família de imigrantes, C y M han hecho todo lo posible para ser arrendatarios buenos. A pesar que siempre pagaron el alquiler a tiempo, mantuvieron su propios servicios de limpieza, y nunca se quejaron de condiciones inseguras, nada los han protegido del súbito cancelación de su alquilo con poco aviso. Ahora C y M han llamado al inspector de la ciudad para reportar moho en el baño y habitaciones, cucarachas, un ventilador roto en la cocina, radiadores dañados, y más. Después de estos reportes, familiares de los caseros empezaron aparecer en nuestro edificio y hostigar a la familia. C y M entienden que el rechazo de hacer reparaciones o renovar el contrato de parte de los caseros es un acto racista. Los otros arrendatarios del edificio (incluso yo) fuimos permitidos a renovar. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Hasta ahora, C y M sólo querían que los caseros iniciarán las reparaciones y que pudieran quedarse rentando, pero después del abuso de los caseros y su familia, están buscando una vivienda segura en el área en que trabajan, donde sus niños van a la escuela. Como una familia grande con solo semanas para planear, C y M necesitan apoyo financiero para mudarse. Su apartamento cuesta $3,000 para tres habitaciones, y quisieran encontrar algo similar. Los fondos de este GoFundMe se usarán por los costos del primer mes, último mes, y depósito de garantía para un hogar nuevo. Si has mudado en Boston, entiendes que costos inesperados se pueden presentar por sorpresa, y siempre es difícil encontrar un hogar con proximidad al trabajo y la escuela. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>En Allston, y en la ciudad de Boston, muchos de nosotros hacemos lo que podemos en apoyo de nuestros vecinos inmigrantes. Este es un momento en que todos podemos contribuir a un impacto grande en las vidas de C, M, y sus niños. Los condiciones se están empeorando en Allston, con el corte de beneficios SNAP EBT, pérdida de seres queridos en redadas de ICE, y racismo de parte de los caseros. Podemos hacer la diferencia en las vidas de nuestros vecinos.​​​​​​​
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Por favor contribuyen lo que pueden, y comparten con sus amigos y vecinos.
