Keep a roof over Enzo's head in Fortaleza
A car accident left Enzo short on rent for 2 months; help us stay in our home.
🇧🇷 Ceará, Brazil433 views
After a sudden layoff at the call centre, I fell 2 months behind on rent. Last Thursday a final eviction notice was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $900.
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 a teenager still in school 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 $900 goes:
• Rent arrears (2 months): $500
• Late fees and court costs: $45
• Utilities in arrears: $100
• First month of rent as a buffer: $255
Thanks for reading all this.

Updates from Enzo
Good news. Because of your gifts ($134 in total) I made the first payment toward late fees and court costs. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
We're at 9% thanks to 3 of you. I made the first payment toward late fees and court costs. More news soon.
Thank you all. We're at 15% now ($134). I'm honestly stunned. the plan for late fees and court costs is now scheduled.

Keep going. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. I went through something like this 13 years ago and strangers helped me out. Blessings.
Wishing you the best. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Wish I lived closer to El Paso so I could bring a meal. Blessings
