Petrópolis
After a sudden layoff at the warehouse, I fell 2 months behind on rent. Last Friday a final eviction notice was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $1,500. My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by February, we must leave. I have a toddler and a baby 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 $1,500 goes: • Rent arrears (2 months): $1,100 • Late fees and court costs: $45 • Utilities in arrears: $115 • First month of rent as a buffer: $240 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Updates from Fabiana

  1. Wanted to say thank you properly. 73% funded and the plan for utilities in arrears is now scheduled.

  2. We're at 46% thanks to 18 of you. I made the first payment toward first month of rent as a buffer. More news soon.

  3. Update from Petrópolis: the first invoice got paid this week. We're at 30% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.
