As a single mother living at a hotel in San Antonio, Texas, I am facing an incredibly stressful situation. Despite not having yet received an official eviction notice, I have already experienced harassment and threats aimed at cutting off our basic utilities, electricity and water. This is not just an issue for me; there are other families like mine still residing here, trying to survive under these harsh conditions.

Imagine coming home and, the lights don't turn on, and there is no water for basic needs such as cooking and bathing. Our children deserve better than to live in fear of when they'll lose access to these necessities. It is essential to ensure humane living conditions for all families residing here, who are continuously working to pay their dues and keep their lives together amid adversity.

This is a call to action to require the management of this San Antonio hotel to maintain utilities for all residents currently living on the property. The withholding of electricity and water as a coercive tactic prior to any legal eviction process is unacceptable and inhumane.

City officials and community leaders need to step in to implement and enforce regulations that prevent utility cut-offs for families awaiting legal eviction. It is our shared responsibility to protect our community's most vulnerable during times of transition and need.

I urge you to stand with us and demand immediate action to ensure no family on this property is forced to live without electricity and water. Please sign this petition to help us secure basic living conditions and protect the dignity every family deserves in San Antonio.
