Keep a roof over Giovana's head in Caruaru
After a car accident, Giovana is 3 months behind on rent and has a final eviction notice from the landlord.

When my hours were cut in half in August, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Saturday a final eviction notice was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $1,400.
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 $1,400 goes:
• Rent arrears (3 months): $940
• Late fees and court costs: $90
• Utilities in arrears: $40
• First month of rent as a buffer: $330
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Rooting for you, Giovana. Shared it with a few friends.
is there anything that isn't money that would help Giovana?
Thank you. If you're in Caruaru I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. It helps to be asked.
Gave what I could, wish it was more. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Thinking of Caruaru.

Wishing you peace, Giovana. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Wish I lived closer to Gwagwalada so I could bring a meal. All the best.
