Keep a roof over Henrique's head in Santos
A termination letter arrived last week. Henrique needs $1,250 to clear the arrears and stay housed in Santos.

After a sudden layoff at the hotel, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Tuesday a termination letter was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $1,250.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by October, 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 two part-time jobs, 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 $1,250 goes:
• Rent arrears (3 months): $820
• Late fees and court costs: $50
• Utilities in arrears: $105
• First month of rent as a buffer: $275
Thank you for reading my story.
