Stop the eviction: 3 months of rent for Gustavo's family in Niterói
A car accident left Gustavo short on rent for 3 months; help us stay in our home.
🇧🇷 Brazil950 views
When the call centre closed in July, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Tuesday a final eviction notice was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $400.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by November, 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 $400 goes:
• Utilities in arrears: $120
• First month of rent as a buffer: $195
• Late fees and court costs: $85
Every share and every dollar helps.

Thanks for sharing this, Gustavo. Shared it with a few friends. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Thinking of Niterói.
Take care, Gustavo. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Sent it to 35 people at work
gave what I could, wish it was more. Please keep us posted. Greetings from Ikeja.
Shared this with my family. Love from Cork.
