When my hours were cut in half in December, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Saturday a court summons for non-payment was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $750. My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by February, 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 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 $750 goes: • Rent arrears (3 months): $470 • Late fees and court costs: $40 • Utilities in arrears: $40 • First month of rent as a buffer: $200 If you're reading this, thank you.

    Is there anything that isn't money that would help Duygu?

      Thank you. If you're in Ankara I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Fair thing to want to know.

  • Lavanya M. Sastry

    Take care, Duygu. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I went through something like this 14 years ago and strangers helped me out. Greetings from Iztapalapa.
