Stop the eviction: 2 months of rent for Raquel's family in Feira de Santana
After a car accident, Raquel is 2 months behind on rent and has a 10-day notice to quit from the landlord.

After a sudden layoff at the textile factory, I fell 2 months behind on rent. Last Wednesday a 10-day notice to quit was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $1,150.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by September, 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 night deliveries, 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 $1,150 goes:
• Rent arrears (2 months): $720
• Late fees and court costs: $70
• Utilities in arrears: $65
• First month of rent as a buffer: $295
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Hope things get better soon, Raquel. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. I'm in customer support myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. God bless.
Gave what I could, wish it was more. My neighbor in Boulogne-Billancourt donated after I showed her your page. Thinking of Feira de Santana.
Hope things get better soon, Raquel. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Don't give up. All the best
Praying for you. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. I went through something like this 2 years ago and strangers helped me out. All the best.
