Keep a roof over Monika's head in Wrocław
After a long illness, Monika is 5 months behind on rent and has a court summons for non-payment from the landlord.
🇵🇱 Wrocław, Lower Silesia, Poland1,648 views
When my hours were cut in half in July, I fell 5 months behind on rent. Last Monday a court summons for non-payment was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $1,350.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by October, we must leave.
I have two young 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 extra hours at a market stall, 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 $1,350 goes:
• Rent arrears (5 months): $1,050
• First month of rent as a buffer: $240
• Late fees and court costs: $60
Thanks for being kind about this.

Rooting for you, Monika. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it.
