Stop the eviction: 3 months of rent for Edson's family in Pelotas
A 10-day notice to quit arrived last week. Edson needs $1,100 to clear the arrears and stay housed in Pelotas.

When my hours were cut in half in October, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Monday a 10-day notice to quit was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $1,100.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by January, 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 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 $1,100 goes:
• Utilities in arrears: $55
• Late fees and court costs: $90
• Rent arrears (3 months): $955
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

Can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Pelotas!
Thank you. If you're in Pelotas I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Thanks for asking.
You're not alone. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. Wish I lived closer to Faisalabad so I could bring a meal.
how is Edson doing now?

You're not alone, Edson. Shared this with my family. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. God bless
