Keep a roof over Dimitra's head in Athens
A final eviction notice arrived last week. Dimitra needs $2,250 to clear the arrears and stay housed in Athens.

After a sudden layoff at the hotel, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Wednesday a final eviction notice was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $2,250.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by November, we must leave.
I have three school-aged 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 $2,250 goes:
• Late fees and court costs: $175
• Rent arrears (3 months): $1,700
• First month of rent as a buffer: $375
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

How is Dimitra doing now?
Hope things get better soon, Dimitra. This could happen to any of us. It's not much but it's yours. All the best.
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Dimitra.
Late fees and court costs is $175 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Ask me anything else.
Sending good thoughts, Dimitra. Your post was clear and honest. Blessings!
Thanks for sharing this. Shared it with a few friends. Wish I lived closer to Saskatoon so I could bring a meal
Rooting for you, Dimitra. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Greetings from Newcastle.
Best of luck, Dimitra. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Please keep us posted. Thinking of Athens.
Wishing you the best, Dimitra. I hope things turn around soon. It's not much but it's yours.
It takes guts to ask. Well done. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Greetings from Manila
Best of luck. I hope things turn around soon. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Love from Saskatoon
Take care, Dimitra. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I hope November is when things finally get easier. All the best
Hope things get better soon. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Thinking of Athens.
Hope it all works out, Dimitra. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Put this on a community board in Khon Kaen this morning. God bless.
Hope things get better soon. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Blessings
