Cláudia received an eviction notice - help us catch up on rent
A termination letter arrived last week. Cláudia needs $1,400 to clear the arrears and stay housed in São Paulo.

When the call centre closed in April, I fell 4 months behind on rent. Last Thursday a termination letter was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $1,400.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by June, 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.
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 $1,400 goes:
• Rent arrears (4 months): $1,000
• Late fees and court costs: $125
• Utilities in arrears: $70
• First month of rent as a buffer: $205
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Good news. Because of your gifts ($230 in total) I met with the landlord and confirmed the amounts. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

sending good thoughts. Looking forward to the next update. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. God bless
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Cláudia.
Rent arrears (4 months) is $1,000 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Good question.
Wishing you the best, Cláudia. Hope you get there. Thinking of São Paulo.
Wishing you the best. Your post was clear and honest. Thinking of São Paulo.
Take care, Cláudia. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. My neighbor in Poitiers donated after I showed her your page. Greetings from Poitiers.
Rooting for you, Cláudia. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My neighbor had a similar thing happen so this one hit home
