Following a long illness in the family, Gustavo fell 5 months behind on rent. Last Friday a court summons for non-payment was taped to the door, and the amount owed is $1,450. The landlord was understanding for a while, but has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by September, the family must leave. There are three school-aged children at home. Moving would mean new schools, a new commute and no deposit to put down anywhere else. Gustavo has started working extra hours at a market stall, and is 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 $1,450 goes: • Rent arrears (5 months): $950 • Late fees and court costs: $35 • Utilities in arrears: $110 • First month of rent as a buffer: $355 If you're reading this, thank you. - Adriana
