Gabriele received an eviction notice - help us catch up on rent
After a car accident, Gabriele is 3 months behind on rent and has a notice to vacate from the landlord.

When the textile factory closed in September, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Friday a notice to vacate was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $2,950.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by December, we must leave.
I have two young 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 $2,950 goes:
• Rent arrears (3 months): $1,550
• Late fees and court costs: $260
• Utilities in arrears: $260
• First month of rent as a buffer: $880
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

shared it with a few friends. Don't give up. Greetings from Fresno.
is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Gabriele.
It's all in the list in the story. rent arrears (3 months) is the big one at $1,550, I'll post a receipt when it's paid. Good question.
hang in there, Gabriele. Your post was clear and honest. Please keep us posted.
Keep going, Gabriele. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We're a small family in Ho but we're thinking of you. Take care.
thinking of you, Gabriele. Looking forward to the next update. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Greetings from Pune
I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. My colleague had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Take care.
Sending love, Gabriele. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Take care!
I hope things turn around soon. After 17 years in social work I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Take care.
