Keep a roof over Murilo's head in São Paulo
A cut in working hours left Murilo short on rent for 3 months; help us stay in our home.
🇧🇷 São Paulo, São Paulo, Brazil876 views
After a car accident that kept me from work for 8 weeks, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Monday a notice to vacate was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $1,300.
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 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 $1,300 goes:
• Utilities in arrears: $60
• First month of rent as a buffer: $300
• Rent arrears (3 months): $940
Glad we found this place.

Sending strength, Murilo. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier.

how is Murilo doing now?
Sending good thoughts, Murilo. Hope this works out for you. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.
So sorry you're going through this, Murilo. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Greetings from Cairns
take care. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We're a small family in Epe but we're thinking of you. Thinking of São Paulo.
