Keep a roof over Lidia's head in Zaporizhzhia
A 10-day notice to quit arrived last week. Lidia needs $600 to clear the arrears and stay housed in Zaporizhzhia.

After a sudden layoff at the restaurant, Lidia fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Monday a 10-day notice to quit was taped to the door, and the amount owed is $600.
The landlord was understanding for a while, but has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by July, the family must leave.
There are three school-aged children at home. Moving would mean new schools, a new commute and no deposit to put down anywhere else.
Lidia has started working weekend shifts, and is 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 $600 goes:
• Rent arrears (3 months): $280
• Late fees and court costs: $70
• Utilities in arrears: $60
• First month of rent as a buffer: $190
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Wishing you the best. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Love from Narayanganj
Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Greetings from Surat!
Keep going, Andrei. I hope things turn around soon. All the best.
Wishing you peace, Andrei. Shared this with my family. I'll check back for the next update.
Sending strength, Andrei. Looking forward to the next update. I hope July is when things finally get easier.
