Keep a roof over Irini's head in Heraklion
After the closure of the factory, Irini is 5 months behind on rent and has a notice to vacate from the landlord.
🇬🇷 Heraklion, Crete, Greece864 views
When the restaurant closed in April, I fell 5 months behind on rent. Last Wednesday a notice to vacate was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $1,650.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by August, 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.
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 $1,650 goes:
• Rent arrears (5 months): $1,150
• Late fees and court costs: $105
• Utilities in arrears: $165
• First month of rent as a buffer: $230
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Heraklion
Thank you. If you're in Heraklion I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Appreciate you taking the time.
Sending strength. Shared this with my family. Thinking of Heraklion
Sending love, Irini. Hope you get there. God bless
thinking of you and your family. Looking forward to the next update. My neighbor in Cork donated after I showed her your page. Love from Cork.
Thinking of you. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Greetings from Medellín.
