Keep a roof over Beatriz's head in Santos
A car accident left Beatriz short on rent for 4 months; help us stay in our home.

After a car accident that kept me from work for 10 weeks, I fell 4 months behind on rent. Last Sunday a final eviction notice was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $500.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by August, 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 two part-time jobs, 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 $500 goes:
• Utilities in arrears: $95
• Late fees and court costs: $60
• First month of rent as a buffer: $345
Thank you so much.

Wishing you peace, Beatriz. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Put this on a community board in Worcester this morning. Thinking of Santos.
So sorry you're going through this. This could happen to any of us. Love from Los Angeles.
