Keep a roof over Deniz's head in Kadıköy

A car accident left Deniz short on rent for 5 months; help us stay in our home.

Kadıköy
When my hours were cut in half in August, I fell 5 months behind on rent. Last Wednesday 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 have two young 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 two part-time jobs, 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 $900 goes: • Rent arrears (5 months): $610 • First month of rent as a buffer: $230 • Late fees and court costs: $60 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot. - Deniz

        Hope things get better soon, Deniz. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better.
