Keep a roof over Ebru's head in Istanbul

A sudden layoff left Ebru short on rent for 3 months; help us stay in our home.

Istanbul
Following a long illness in the family, I fell 3 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 May, we must leave. I've 1 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 $650 goes: • Rent arrears (3 months): $520 • Utilities in arrears: $50 • Late fees and court costs: $80 With deep gratitude, Ebru

    Wishing you the best, Ebru. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too.
