Keep a roof over Viktoria's head in Kyiv

The loss of a second income left Viktoria short on rent for 5 months; help us stay in our home.

When my hours were cut in half in August, I fell 5 months behind on rent. Last Tuesday a 10-day notice to quit was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $900. My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by December, we must leave. I have a teenager still in school 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 $900 goes: • Rent arrears (5 months): $650 • Late fees and court costs: $35 • Utilities in arrears: $75 • First month of rent as a buffer: $140 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

    Thanks for sharing this, Viktoria. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I'm in nursing myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you.

    • Olivia L. Evans

      hope this works out for you. Put this on a community board in Chennai this morning. God bless.

      • James E. Kelly

        good luck, Viktoria. Looking forward to the next update. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it.

        • Mussa Tumusiime Hamisi

          Thanks for sharing this, Viktoria. Looking forward to the next update. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Take care.
