Keep a roof over Bruna's head in Niterói
A long illness left Bruna short on rent for 2 months; help us stay in our home.

When the call centre closed in May, I fell 2 months behind on rent. Last Saturday a 10-day notice to quit was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $1,250.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by October, we must leave.
I've 4 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 evenings as a cleaner, 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 $1,250 goes:
• Rent arrears (2 months): $810
• Late fees and court costs: $120
• Utilities in arrears: $45
• First month of rent as a buffer: $275

Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. After 26 years in retail I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Love from Ribeirão Preto.
rooting for you, Bruna. It takes guts to ask. Well done. All the best
Hope this works out for you. Wish I lived closer to Patna so I could bring a meal. Thinking of Niterói
Shared this with my family. It's not much but it's yours. Greetings from Pretoria.
Keep going, Bruna. This could happen to any of us. Love from Huntsville.
