Keep a roof over Camila's head in Juazeiro do Norte
After the loss of a second income, Camila is 3 months behind on rent and has a court summons for non-payment from the landlord.
🇧🇷 Juazeiro do Norte, Ceará, Brazil792 views
After a car accident that kept me from work for 3 weeks, 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 $800.
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 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 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.
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 $800 goes:
• Rent arrears (3 months): $490
• Late fees and court costs: $110
• Utilities in arrears: $30
• First month of rent as a buffer: $170
Every share and every dollar helps.

Wishing you the best, Camila. I hope things turn around soon. Greetings from Pokhara!
Thinking of you and your family, Camila. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. Wish I lived closer to Pittsburgh so I could bring a meal
Sending good thoughts. Your post was clear and honest. Sent it to 27 people at work. Love from Addis Ababa.
Hang in there. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Love from Ogbomosho.
Good luck. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like
good luck, Camila. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. We're a small family in Arlington but we're thinking of you. All the best.
