Keep a roof over Larissa's head in Londrina
A cut in working hours left Larissa short on rent for 5 months; help us stay in our home.

After a car accident that kept me from work for 12 weeks, I fell 5 months behind on rent. Last Wednesday a 10-day notice to quit 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've 4 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 evenings as a cleaner, 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:
• Rent arrears (5 months): $900
• Late fees and court costs: $50
• Utilities in arrears: $85
• First month of rent as a buffer: $165
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Take care, Larissa. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes.

stay strong, Larissa. I hope things turn around soon. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day.
Thinking of you, Larissa. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Greetings from Halifax
Hang in there, Larissa. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. Blessings
