João received an eviction notice - help us catch up on rent
A sudden layoff left João short on rent for 2 months; help us stay in our home.
🇧🇷 Campinas, São Paulo, Brazil899 views
When the restaurant closed in September, I fell 2 months behind on rent. Last Tuesday a termination letter was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $950.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by December, we must leave.
I have a teenager still in school at home. Moving isn't just an expense - it would mean new schools, a new commute and no deposit to put down anywhere else.
I have started working weekend shifts, and I'm 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 $950 goes:
• Utilities in arrears: $65
• First month of rent as a buffer: $260
• Rent arrears (2 months): $625
Glad we found this place.

Small update. $513 so far, I met with the landlord and confirmed the amounts.
