Stop the eviction: 2 months of rent for Gabriela's family in Santos
After a delayed insurance payout, Gabriela is 2 months behind on rent and has a notice to vacate from the landlord.

When the restaurant closed in November, I fell 2 months behind on rent. Last Sunday a notice to vacate was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $1,250.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by January, 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 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.
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 $1,250 goes:
• Rent arrears (2 months): $1,050
• Late fees and court costs: $115
• Utilities in arrears: $85
Thank you so much.

Keep going, Gabriela. Your post was clear and honest. Greetings from Çankaya.
How is Gabriela doing now?
Wishing you peace. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Blessings!
Is rent arrears (2 months) the biggest cost or is there more coming?
Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. rent arrears (2 months) comes first ($1,050) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. Let me know if you want more detail.
praying for you, Gabriela. Looking forward to the next update. Take care.
thanks for sharing this, Gabriela. Gave what I could, wish it was more. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. God bless
Best of luck. Hope this works out for you. Love from Kraków.
