Keep a roof over Beatriz's head in Vitória da Conquista
A cut in working hours left Beatriz short on rent for 3 months; help us stay in our home.

After a sudden layoff at the packaging plant, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Tuesday a court summons for non-payment was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $1,050.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by April, we must leave.
I have three school-aged children 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 night deliveries, and I'm 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 $1,050 goes:
• Utilities in arrears: $35
• First month of rent as a buffer: $320
• Rent arrears (3 months): $695
Every share and every dollar helps.
