Stop the eviction: 3 months of rent for Jorge's family in Ribeirão Preto
After a divorce, Jorge is 3 months behind on rent and has a termination letter from the landlord.

When my hours were cut in half in December, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Friday a termination letter was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $1,150.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by March, 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 evenings as a cleaner, and I'm applying for help from local services, but nothing will arrive in time without the rest of the gap covered here.
Funds go to the landlord and nowhere else. Any amount left over after the arrears are cleared will go toward next month's rent.
Where the $1,150 goes:
• Rent arrears (3 months): $790
• Late fees and court costs: $95
• Utilities in arrears: $35
• First month of rent as a buffer: $230
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

How is Jorge doing now?
a colleague of mine might know someone for this in São Paulo. I'll ask around and let you know.
Good luck, Jorge. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I hope March is when things finally get easier. Greetings from Durham.
Is there anything that isn't money that would help Jorge?
Sharing the link is the biggest thing. And if you know anything about rent arrears (3 months), advice is welcome too. Happy to explain more.
Hang in there, Jorge. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day.
Thinking of you and your family, Jorge. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Greetings from Nuremberg
Gave what I could, wish it was more. Love from Juazeiro do Norte.
