Keep a roof over Henrique's head in Feira de Santana
A delayed insurance payout left Henrique short on rent for 3 months; help us stay in our home.

When the bakery closed in September, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Wednesday a final eviction notice was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $1,200.
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 two young 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 extra hours at a market stall, 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 $1,200 goes:
• First month of rent as a buffer: $175
• Rent arrears (3 months): $970
• Utilities in arrears: $55
Thanks for being kind about this.

is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Henrique.
It's all in the list in the story. first month of rent as a buffer is the big one at $175, I'll post a receipt when it's paid. Thanks for asking.
sending good thoughts, Henrique. Looking forward to the next update.
Praying for you, Henrique. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Love from Erie.
Take care, Henrique. This could happen to any of us. I'll check back for the next update.
Hope it all works out, Henrique. Your post was clear and honest.
Hang in there, Henrique. Looking forward to the next update. After 15 years in retail I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Take care
Hang in there, Henrique. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My colleague had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Blessings.
rooting for you, Henrique. This could happen to any of us. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double
