Keep a roof over Edoardo's head in Rome
A final eviction notice arrived last week. Edoardo needs $2,500 to clear the arrears and stay housed in Rome.

After a car accident that kept me from work for 7 weeks, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Thursday a final eviction notice was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $2,500.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by October, we must leave.
I have a toddler and a baby 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 weekend shifts, 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 $2,500 goes:
• First month of rent as a buffer: $390
• Late fees and court costs: $250
• Rent arrears (3 months): $1,860
With deep gratitude,
Edoardo

stay strong, Edoardo. I hope things turn around soon
You're not alone, Edoardo. This could happen to any of us. I went through something like this 5 years ago and strangers helped me out. All the best.
Hope things get better soon. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Greetings from Kinondoni.
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Edoardo.
First month of rent as a buffer is $390 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Let me know if you want more detail.
