Keep a roof over Alina's head in Saint Petersburg
A car accident left Alina short on rent for 3 months; help us stay in our home.
🇷🇺 Saint Petersburg, Russia1,788 views
After a car accident that kept me from work for 4 weeks, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Saturday a final eviction notice was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $1,050.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by June, we must leave.
I've 1 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 $1,050 goes:
• Rent arrears (3 months): $660
• Late fees and court costs: $85
• Utilities in arrears: $65
• First month of rent as a buffer: $240

Hope things get better soon. I hope things turn around soon. Please keep us posted. Thinking of Saint Petersburg.
You're not alone, Alina. I hope things turn around soon. It's not much but it's yours. Take care
wishing you peace. Hope you get there. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Love from São Paulo.
So sorry you're going through this, Alina. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. God bless
everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. We're a small family in Saint-Étienne but we're thinking of you. God bless.
