Stop the eviction: 3 months of rent for Cristiane's family in São Paulo
A car accident left Cristiane short on rent for 3 months; help us stay in our home.

When my hours were cut in half in June, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Thursday a termination letter was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $1,350.
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 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 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.
The money will be paid directly to the landlord and I'll upload the receipt once it's done.
Where the $1,350 goes:
• Rent arrears (3 months): $1,100
• Late fees and court costs: $75
• Utilities in arrears: $40
• First month of rent as a buffer: $135
Thank you so much.

Wishing you peace. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Love from Kasarani
Sending love. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. Love from Córdoba
Hope things get better soon, Cristiane. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust.
is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Cristiane.
The list at the bottom is the whole picture. rent arrears (3 months) is the biggest at $1,100. Thanks for asking.
hope it all works out, Cristiane. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My neighbor in San Antonio donated after I showed her your page. Blessings
Thinking of you. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Thinking of São Paulo.
it takes guts to ask. Well done. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Greetings from Cologne.
Rooting for you, Cristiane. This could happen to any of us. After 22 years in public service I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Thinking of São Paulo.
Wishing you the best. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. All the best.
You're not alone. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Thinking of São Paulo
