Help Kerem keep his home - 2 months behind on rent
A long illness left Kerem short on rent for 2 months; help us stay in our home.

When my hours were cut in half in September, Kerem fell 2 months behind on rent. Last Saturday a termination letter was taped to the door, and the amount owed is $2,100.
The landlord was understanding for a while, but has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by January, the family must leave.
There are a teenager still in school at home. Moving would mean new schools, a new commute and no deposit to put down anywhere else.
Kerem has started working extra hours at a market stall, and is 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 $2,100 goes:
• Rent arrears (2 months): $1,600
• Utilities in arrears: $195
• Late fees and court costs: $305
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Hope things get better soon, Gökhan. Gave what I could, wish it was more. God bless.
so sorry you're going through this, Gökhan. Hope you get there. I have a 6 year old who wants to send good wishes too.
Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My husband and I read this together. Greetings from Kilkenny.
Thinking of you, Gökhan. Looking forward to the next update. Wish I lived closer to Agra so I could bring a meal. Take care
Thinking of you. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Sent it to 26 people at work. Greetings from Envigado
