Help Maria keep her home - 4 months behind on rent
A divorce left Maria short on rent for 4 months; help us stay in our home.
🇷🇺 RussiaPosted Oct 1, 20261,257 views
When my hours were cut in half in August, Maria fell 4 months behind on rent. Last Thursday a 10-day notice to quit was taped to the door, and the amount owed is $1,100.
The landlord was understanding for a while, but has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by November, the family must leave.
There are three school-aged children at home. Moving would mean new schools, a new commute and no deposit to put down anywhere else.
Maria 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 $1,100 goes:
• First month of rent as a buffer: $330
• Rent arrears (4 months): $760
• Utilities in arrears: $10
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

any update on how things are going in Saint Petersburg?
You're not alone, Maxim. Shared it with a few friends. Greetings from Üsküdar.
Can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Saint Petersburg
Sharing the link is the biggest thing. And if you know anything about first month of rent as a buffer, advice is welcome too. Good question.
Rooting for you, Maxim. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Take care.
praying for you. This could happen to any of us. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money
Keep going. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Thinking of Saint Petersburg.
sending good thoughts. It takes guts to ask. Well done. All the best
