“In May, my landlord increased the rent of the place where I’ve been living for decades. We live in a trailer park in Eureka. I couldn’t pay for electricity in order to complete the rent amount this month. I’m a single mother of four children, I work as a housekeeper, but due to the pandemic, I have no job. We are here to work, we pay taxes, we are thousands in this situation, we need help and rent forgiveness to start over, as a recognition of all the effort and the long hours that we have worked tirelessly in this country,” Rosa said in an open statement for Centro del Pueblo.
