Stop the eviction: 2 months of rent for Sônia's family in Curitiba
After the loss of a second income, Sônia is 2 months behind on rent and has a termination letter from the landlord.
🇧🇷 Curitiba, Paraná, Brazil1,700 views
When my hours were cut in half in January, Sônia fell 2 months behind on rent. Last Monday a termination letter was taped to the door, and the amount owed is $1,250.
The landlord was understanding for a while, but has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by April, the family must leave.
There are 2 children at home. Moving would mean new schools, a new commute and no deposit to put down anywhere else.
Sônia has started working evenings as a cleaner, and is 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 $1,250 goes:
• Rent arrears (2 months): $800
• Late fees and court costs: $110
• Utilities in arrears: $80
• First month of rent as a buffer: $260
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.
