Help Sérgio keep his home - 4 months behind on rent
A car accident left Sérgio short on rent for 4 months; help us stay in our home.
🇧🇷 Londrina, Paraná, Brazil1,013 views
After a car accident that kept me from work for 7 weeks, Sérgio fell 4 months behind on rent. Last Tuesday a court summons for non-payment was taped to the door, and the amount owed is $800.
The landlord was understanding for a while, but has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by December, the family must leave.
There are two young children at home. Moving would mean new schools, a new commute and no deposit to put down anywhere else.
Sérgio 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 $800 goes:
• Rent arrears (4 months): $480
• Late fees and court costs: $100
• Utilities in arrears: $45
• First month of rent as a buffer: $175
Thanks for reading all this.

Updates from Anderson
Small update. $165 so far, the plan for first month of rent as a buffer is now scheduled.
Thank you all. We're at 35% now ($283). I'm honestly stunned. we've started the first stage.
Good news. Because of your gifts ($231 in total) I made the first payment toward rent arrears. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

Thinking of you and your family. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Greetings from Suwon.
Hope it all works out, Anderson. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Thinking of Londrina.
Hope things get better soon, Anderson. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. It's not much but it's yours
