Keep a roof over Bianca's head in Rio de Janeiro

When my hours were cut in half in July, I fell 2 months behind on rent. Last Friday a court summons for non-payment was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $1,150.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by November, 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 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 $1,150 goes:
• Rent arrears (2 months): $820
• Late fees and court costs: $55
• Utilities in arrears: $45
• First month of rent as a buffer: $230
Thanks for reading all this.

wishing you the best. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together
Rooting for you, Bianca. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. All the best.
Hang in there, Bianca. Looking forward to the next update. Sent it to 12 people at work. Thinking of Rio de Janeiro.
Take care. Gave what I could, wish it was more. After 25 years in teaching I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
you're not alone, Bianca. Looking forward to the next update. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.
you're not alone. Shared this with my family. I went through something like this 9 years ago and strangers helped me out. Greetings from Fort Portal
