Keep a roof over Fábio's head in Duque de Caxias
A termination letter arrived last week. Fábio needs $1,700 to clear the arrears and stay housed in Duque de Caxias.

When my hours were cut in half in June, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Thursday a termination letter was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $1,700.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by September, 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 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 $1,700 goes:
• Rent arrears (3 months): $1,200
• Late fees and court costs: $115
• Utilities in arrears: $75
• First month of rent as a buffer: $310
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Rooting for you. Hope this works out for you. Wish I lived closer to Newcastle so I could bring a meal. Take care.
Best of luck, Fábio. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Take care.
