Keep a roof over Regina's head in Duque de Caxias

A final eviction notice arrived last week. Regina needs $1,100 to clear the arrears and stay housed in Duque de Caxias.

Duque de Caxias
When the bakery closed in May, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Friday a final eviction notice was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $1,100. My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by September, we must leave. I have two young 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. The money will be paid directly to the landlord and I'll upload the receipt once it's done. Where the $1,100 goes: • Utilities in arrears: $70 • Rent arrears (3 months): $910 • Late fees and court costs: $120 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

  1. Wanted to say thank you properly. 63% funded and I met with the landlord and confirmed the amounts.

  2. Update from Duque de Caxias: we've started the first stage. We're at 21% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

      Hope things get better soon, Regina. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I hope September is when things finally get easier. Thinking of Duque de Caxias.

        your post was clear and honest. My father had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Take care.

        • Musyoka Kato Ssemwogerere

          Take care. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.
