Duque de Caxias
When my hours were cut in half in June, I fell 4 months behind on rent. Last Monday a notice to vacate was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $1,000. 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. The money will be paid directly to the landlord and I'll upload the receipt once it's done. Where the $1,000 goes: • Utilities in arrears: $60 • Late fees and court costs: $70 • Rent arrears (4 months): $870 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

    Stay strong, Lorena. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I went through something like this 9 years ago and strangers helped me out. Blessings.
