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

When the call centre closed in June, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Wednesday a 10-day notice to quit was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $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've 3 children 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 $350 goes:
• Utilities in arrears: $70
• First month of rent as a buffer: $155
• Late fees and court costs: $125
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Take care, Roberto. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Take care.
Thinking of you. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend.
Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. Wish I lived closer to San Diego so I could bring a meal. Take care.
