Stop the eviction: 4 months of rent for Gabriela's family in Ribeirão Preto

After a sudden layoff, Gabriela is 4 months behind on rent and has a court summons for non-payment from the landlord.

After a car accident that kept me from work for 12 weeks, I fell 4 months behind on rent. Last Tuesday a court summons for non-payment 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 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. 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 $1,350 goes: • Rent arrears (4 months): $1,050 • Late fees and court costs: $90 • Utilities in arrears: $35 • First month of rent as a buffer: $175 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.
