Keep a roof over Mattia's head in Rome
A sudden layoff left Mattia short on rent for 3 months; help us stay in our home.

After a car accident that kept me from work for 3 weeks, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Wednesday a 10-day notice to quit was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $2,150.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by November, we must leave.
I have a toddler and a baby 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 $2,150 goes:
• Rent arrears (3 months): $1,900
• Utilities in arrears: $160
• Late fees and court costs: $90

How is Mattia doing now?
best of luck. Hope this works out for you. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.
I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. I have a 15 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Greetings from Mumbai.
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Mattia
Sure. The biggest one is rent arrears (3 months), $1,900. The rest is in the list at the bottom of the post and I'll upload receipts as I pay each one. Good question.
you're not alone. This could happen to any of us. Don't be hard on yourself for asking
is there anything that isn't money that would help Mattia?
Thanks for sharing this, Mattia. I hope things turn around soon. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too
Hang in there, Mattia. 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 Rome.
Sending good thoughts. This could happen to any of us. I went through something like this 10 years ago and strangers helped me out.
So sorry you're going through this, Mattia. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. It's not much but it's yours
Keep going, Mattia. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Greetings from Fayetteville.
Looking forward to the next update. After 26 years in engineering I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
Praying for you, Mattia. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Greetings from London.
Keep going, Mattia. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My husband and I read this together. Take care.
Good luck, Mattia. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.
Hope things get better soon, Mattia. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. All the best.
Good luck, Mattia. Hope this works out for you.
Take care, Mattia. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Love from Bhaktapur.
A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. My neighbor in Katowice donated after I showed her your page
