Kraków
When my hours were cut in half in February, I fell 4 months behind on rent. Last Tuesday a court summons for non-payment was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $1,800. 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've 3 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 $1,800 goes: • Rent arrears (4 months): $1,250 • Late fees and court costs: $80 • Utilities in arrears: $115 • First month of rent as a buffer: $355 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

    take care. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My neighbor in Birmingham donated after I showed her your page

      Hope it all works out, Marcin. I hope things turn around soon. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Thinking of Kraków.

        You're not alone, Marcin. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like

          Hope it all works out, Marcin. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Take care.

              Best of luck, Marcin. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together.
