Keep a roof over Halyna's head in Kyiv

After a car accident that kept me from work for 5 weeks, I fell 5 months behind on rent. Last Friday a court summons for non-payment 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 February, 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 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. 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 (5 months): $370 • Late fees and court costs: $65 • Utilities in arrears: $30 • First month of rent as a buffer: $185 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it. - Halyna

      is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Halyna.

      • Halyna Viktoria HrytsenkoOwnerAnswer

        Rent arrears (5 months) is $370 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Good question.

            thinking of you and your family, Halyna. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. It's not much but it's yours.
