Keep a roof over Letícia's head in Santos
After a sudden layoff, Letícia is 4 months behind on rent and has a final eviction notice from the landlord.

Following a long illness in the family, I fell 4 months behind on rent. Last Monday 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 December, 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 $1,200 goes:
• Rent arrears (4 months): $1,100
• Utilities in arrears: $30
• Late fees and court costs: $70
Thank you for reading my story.

Updates from Letícia
Update from Santos: the first invoice got paid this week. We're at 20% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.
Thank you all. We're at 9% now ($110). I'm honestly stunned. I made the first payment toward late fees and court costs.

Hope it all works out. This could happen to any of us. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Blessings.
Best of luck. Your post was clear and honest. Greetings from Ribeirão Preto.
