Stop the eviction: 5 months of rent for Fabiana's family in São Paulo
After a cut in working hours, Fabiana is 5 months behind on rent and has a notice to vacate from the landlord.

When my hours were cut in half in July, I fell 5 months behind on rent. Last Thursday a notice to vacate 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 November, we must leave.
I have three school-aged 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 $1,150 goes:
• Rent arrears (5 months): $850
• Late fees and court costs: $85
• Utilities in arrears: $45
• First month of rent as a buffer: $170
If you're reading this, thank you.
