Keep a roof over Henrique's head in São Paulo
A notice to vacate arrived last week. Henrique needs $250 to clear the arrears and stay housed in São Paulo.

After a sudden layoff at the textile factory, I fell 5 months behind on rent. Last Monday a notice to vacate was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $250.
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 a toddler and a baby 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 $250 goes:
• First month of rent as a buffer: $135
• Late fees and court costs: $40
• Utilities in arrears: $75
Glad we found this place.

So sorry you're going through this. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Love from Üsküdar.

Wishing you peace, Henrique. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. After 15 years in farming I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Take care.
