Keep a roof over Francisco's head in Petrópolis
The closure of the factory left Francisco short on rent for 3 months; help us stay in our home.

After a car accident that kept me from work for 5 weeks, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Monday a termination letter was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $1,350.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by July, 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 night deliveries, 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 $1,350 goes:
• Rent arrears (3 months): $1,050
• Late fees and court costs: $80
• Utilities in arrears: $95
• First month of rent as a buffer: $125
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.
