Keep a roof over Barbara's head in Palermo
A car accident left Barbara short on rent for 4 months; help us stay in our home.

After a sudden layoff at the warehouse, I fell 4 months behind on rent. Last Friday a termination letter was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $900.
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'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 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.
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 $900 goes:
• First month of rent as a buffer: $630
• Late fees and court costs: $135
• Utilities in arrears: $135
Thanks for being kind about this.

Thinking of you and your family. Looking forward to the next update. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Blessings
best of luck, Barbara. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. Put this on a community board in Mysuru this morning. God bless.
Wishing you peace, Barbara. Shared it with a few friends. God bless
stay strong, Barbara. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Love from Jodhpur.
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I went through something like this 9 years ago and strangers helped me out
