Keep a roof over Caio's head in Juazeiro do Norte
After the loss of a second income, Caio is 5 months behind on rent and has a notice to vacate from the landlord.

When my hours were cut in half in August, I fell 5 months behind on rent. Last Sunday a notice to vacate was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $1,100.
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 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 extra hours at a market stall, 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 $1,100 goes:
• First month of rent as a buffer: $190
• Utilities in arrears: $30
• Rent arrears (5 months): $880
Thanks for being kind about this.

can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Juazeiro do Norte!
Thank you. If you're in Juazeiro do Norte I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Fair thing to want to know.
Rooting for you, Caio. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Blessings.
Best of luck, Caio. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. After 29 years in social work I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Love from Thane
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Caio.
It's all in the list in the story. first month of rent as a buffer is the big one at $190, I'll post a receipt when it's paid. Thanks, that means a lot.
good luck, Caio. Shared it with a few friends. Thinking of Juazeiro do Norte
Wishing you peace, Caio. Hope you get there. Blessings.
