After a sudden layoff at the bakery, I fell 2 months behind on rent. Last Friday a court summons for non-payment was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $850.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by December, 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 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.
The money will be paid directly to the landlord and I'll upload the receipt once it's done.
Where the $850 goes:
• First month of rent as a buffer: $240
• Rent arrears (2 months): $490
• Late fees and court costs: $120

Take care, Heitor. Hope this works out for you. All the best.
hope things get better soon, Heitor. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. My husband and I read this together. Take care.
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Heitor!
The list at the bottom is the whole picture. first month of rent as a buffer is the biggest at $240. Good question.
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. After 10 years in nursing I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Thinking of Caruaru
can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Caruaru.
Thank you. If you're in Caruaru I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Good question.
A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. All the best
keep going. I hope things turn around soon. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Love from Birmingham
Hope things get better soon, Heitor. Gave what I could, wish it was more. All the best
