Stop the eviction: 3 months of rent for Alexandre's family in Campinas
A sudden layoff left Alexandre short on rent for 3 months; help us stay in our home.

When my hours were cut in half in September, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Wednesday a termination letter 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 February, we must leave.
I have a teenager still in school 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 weekend shifts, 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 $1,250 goes:
• Rent arrears (3 months): $820
• Late fees and court costs: $70
• Utilities in arrears: $55
• First month of rent as a buffer: $305
Glad we found this place.

Updates from Alexandre
Good news. Because of your gifts ($317 in total) I made the first payment toward first month of rent as a buffer. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
We're at 5% thanks to 2 of you. I met with the landlord and confirmed the amounts. More news soon.
Wanted to say thank you properly. 1% funded and I made the first payment toward first month of rent as a buffer.

I hope things turn around soon. Thinking of Campinas.
Thinking of you and your family, Alexandre. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. My neighbor had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. It's not much but it's yours.
