Stop the eviction: 2 months of rent for Natália's family in Contagem
A court summons for non-payment arrived last week. Natália needs $600 to clear the arrears and stay housed in Contagem.

After a car accident that kept me from work for 4 weeks, I fell 2 months behind on rent. Last Wednesday a court summons for non-payment was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $600.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by April, 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 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 $600 goes:
• Rent arrears (2 months): $470
• Utilities in arrears: $50
• Late fees and court costs: $80
Thanks for reading all this.

Thinking of you and your family, Natália. This could happen to any of us. My sister had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
