Keep a roof over Andriy's head in Kharkiv
A divorce left Andriy short on rent for 5 months; help us stay in our home.

Following a long illness in the family, I fell 5 months behind on rent. Last Monday a final eviction notice was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $650.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by October, we must leave.
I've 3 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 weekend shifts, 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 $650 goes:
• Rent arrears (5 months): $380
• Late fees and court costs: $35
• Utilities in arrears: $35
• First month of rent as a buffer: $200

Updates from Andriy
We're at 24% thanks to 7 of you. the first invoice got paid this week. More news soon.
Update from Kharkiv: we've started the first stage. We're at 23% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.
Good news. Because of your gifts ($90 in total) I made the first payment toward rent arrears. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

Keep going. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it.
it takes guts to ask. Well done. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. God bless.
thinking of you and your family, Andriy. This could happen to any of us. All the best
is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Andriy
Sure. The biggest one is rent arrears (5 months), $380. The rest is in the list at the bottom of the post and I'll upload receipts as I pay each one. Ask me anything else.
Good luck, Andriy. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Greetings from Guadalupe
Wishing you the best, Andriy. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did.
Wishing you peace. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Blessings
Shared it with a few friends. Love from Hyderabad.
Hope you get there. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. All the best!
