Rafaela received an eviction notice - help us catch up on rent
A termination letter arrived last week. Rafaela needs $900 to clear the arrears and stay housed in São Paulo.

Following a long illness in the family, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Thursday 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 have a toddler and a baby 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.
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 (3 months): $500
• Late fees and court costs: $75
• Utilities in arrears: $60
• First month of rent as a buffer: $265
Thanks for being kind about this.

Good luck, Rafaela. Shared this with my family. All the best.
Rooting for you, Rafaela. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Thinking of São Paulo.
Sending love, Rafaela. Looking forward to the next update. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Love from Pretoria
Sending strength. It takes guts to ask. Well done. We're a small family in Novosibirsk but we're thinking of you.
