Following a long illness in the family, I fell 5 months behind on rent. Last Saturday a termination letter was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $900.
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 3 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 extra hours at a market stall, 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 $900 goes:
• Rent arrears (5 months): $560
• Late fees and court costs: $50
• Utilities in arrears: $95
• First month of rent as a buffer: $195
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Thinking of you and your family. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Greetings from Salé.
Thinking of you, Luiz. I hope things turn around soon. Love from Santos.
Wishing you the best, Luiz. Your post was clear and honest. Don't be hard on yourself for asking
Hang in there, Luiz. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Thinking of São Paulo
