Keep a roof over Manolis's head in Thessaloniki

A 10-day notice to quit arrived last week. Manolis needs $2,450 to clear the arrears and stay housed in Thessaloniki.

After a car accident that kept me from work for 7 weeks, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Monday a 10-day notice to quit was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $2,450. 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 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. The money will be paid directly to the landlord and I'll upload the receipt once it's done. Where the $2,450 goes: • Rent arrears (3 months): $1,550 • Late fees and court costs: $185 • Utilities in arrears: $180 • First month of rent as a buffer: $535 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

Updates from Manolis

  1. Good news. Because of your gifts ($1,586 in total) I made the first payment toward late fees and court costs. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

  2. Quick update: $297 raised so far (12%). I made the first payment toward late fees and court costs. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.

    Is there anything that isn't money that would help Manolis?

    • Manolis Ioannis PapanikolaouOwnerAnswer

      Thank you. If you're in Thessaloniki I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great.

  • Hiba Samira Kamel

        Wishing you the best. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My neighbor in Kaduna donated after I showed her your page. Take care.
