Critical: Housing Rent Shortfall
Thiago's ideal rent at his primary residence in Tarzana, CA is $1,000/month ($12,000/year). Due to the crisis, he has only been able to pay $6,011 over the past year — a documented shortfall of nearly $6,000. He is surviving on the generosity of his landlords, the Shouhed family, who have allowed him to pay what he can for the past 10 years.

Thiago pays Talita's health insurance premiums, but the insurer denies coverage for many critical treatments — creating a devastating 'double burden' of paying for insurance AND out-of-pocket care.

Professional psychological support for the entire family to manage the severe trauma of a terminal diagnosis. Estimated at ~R$250/session in Brazil (~$43 USD) for parents and ~$150/session for Thiago in the US. Approximately 20+ sessions total.

Family Credit Completely Exhausted

Their Barclays AAdvantage Aviator and Chase accounts are severely delinquent.

Evidence: Failed Payments (January 2026)
In January 2026, multiple AI service subscriptions — tools Thiago was using specifically to manage Talita's case — were declined due to insufficient funds. This is concrete, timestamped evidence that the financial breaking point has been reached.
