Keep a roof over Maria's head in Vitória da Conquista
A termination letter arrived last week. Maria needs $1,050 to clear the arrears and stay housed in Vitória da Conquista.

When the call centre closed in June, I fell 4 months behind on rent. Last Monday a termination letter was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $1,050.
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 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 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.
The money will be paid directly to the landlord and I'll upload the receipt once it's done.
Where the $1,050 goes:
• Utilities in arrears: $95
• First month of rent as a buffer: $260
• Rent arrears (4 months): $695
If you're reading this, thank you.

Hope this works out for you. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Love from Gazipur
is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Maria!
Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. utilities in arrears comes first ($95) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. Let me know if you want more detail.
Hang in there, Maria. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Thinking of Vitória da Conquista.
Sending love, Maria. Hope you get there. I went through something like this 6 years ago and strangers helped me out.
