Duque de Caxias
After a car accident that kept me from work for 12 weeks, I fell 5 months behind on rent. Last Saturday a final eviction notice was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $1,150. My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by February, 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 extra hours at a market stall, 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 $1,150 goes: • First month of rent as a buffer: $185 • Late fees and court costs: $80 • Rent arrears (5 months): $885 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

            Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. After 16 years in nursing I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
