Help Júlia keep her home - 3 months behind on rent

A court summons for non-payment arrived last week. Júlia needs $1,250 to clear the arrears and stay housed in São Paulo.

Following a long illness in the family, Júlia fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Tuesday a court summons for non-payment was taped to the door, and the amount owed is $1,250. The landlord was understanding for a while, but has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by August, 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. Júlia has started working weekend shifts, 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 $1,250 goes: • Rent arrears (3 months): $1,000 • First month of rent as a buffer: $190 • Late fees and court costs: $60 Thank you so much.

              I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. After 27 years in construction I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Thinking of São Paulo.

                praying for you, Anderson. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. God bless.
