Help Jorge keep his home - 5 months behind on rent
A long illness left Jorge short on rent for 5 months; help us stay in our home.
🇧🇷 Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil2,124 views
Following a long illness in the family, Jorge fell 5 months behind on rent. Last Monday a 10-day notice to quit was taped to the door, and the amount owed is $1,350.
The landlord was understanding for a while, but has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by October, the family must leave.
There are 1 children at home. Moving would mean new schools, a new commute and no deposit to put down anywhere else.
Jorge has started working evenings as a cleaner, and is 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 $1,350 goes:
• Rent arrears (5 months): $900
• Late fees and court costs: $105
• Utilities in arrears: $70
• First month of rent as a buffer: $275
Thanks for being kind about this.

Praying for you, Sérgio. Shared this with my family. I have a 13 year old who wants to send good wishes too. All the best.
I hope things turn around soon. Wish I lived closer to Yogyakarta so I could bring a meal. Blessings.
Hang in there, Sérgio. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon.
