Keep a roof over Fernando's head in Uberlândia
A court summons for non-payment arrived last week. Fernando needs $1,050 to clear the arrears and stay housed in Uberlândia.
🇧🇷 Minas Gerais, Brazil748 views
Following a long illness in the family, Fernando fell 4 months behind on rent. Last Saturday a court summons for non-payment was taped to the door, and the amount owed is $1,050.
The landlord was understanding for a while, but has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by October, the family must leave.
There are a teenager still in school at home. Moving would mean new schools, a new commute and no deposit to put down anywhere else.
Fernando has started working extra hours at a market stall, and is 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 $1,050 goes:
• Utilities in arrears: $30
• Rent arrears (4 months): $710
• First month of rent as a buffer: $310
Thank you so much.

Updates from Bianca
Small update. $125 so far, we've booked the dates and paid the deposit. - Bianca
Thank you all. We're at 12% now ($125). I'm honestly stunned. we've started the first stage.
Good news. Because of your gifts ($30 in total) I met with the landlord and confirmed the amounts. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

Best of luck, Bianca. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My neighbor had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. God bless.
