Help Josiane keep her home - 2 months behind on rent
A divorce left Josiane short on rent for 2 months; help us stay in our home.
🇧🇷 Brazil1,041 views
When the call centre closed in July, Josiane fell 2 months behind on rent. Last Saturday a court summons for non-payment was taped to the door, and the amount owed is $500.
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.
Josiane has started working two part-time jobs, 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 $500 goes:
• First month of rent as a buffer: $340
• Late fees and court costs: $85
• Utilities in arrears: $75
With deep gratitude,
Amanda

praying for you. Your post was clear and honest. I hope October is when things finally get easier. Greetings from Rohini.
Sending love. Shared it with a few friends. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Love from Bogor.
you're not alone, Amanda. Your post was clear and honest. Sent it to 3 people at work.
Hang in there, Amanda. This could happen to any of us. I went through something like this 13 years ago and strangers helped me out.
Hope things get better soon. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. All the best.
