Keep a roof over Volkan's head in Istanbul
A car accident left Volkan short on rent for 3 months; help us stay in our home.

After a car accident that kept me from work for 10 weeks, Volkan fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Wednesday a court summons for non-payment was taped to the door, and the amount owed is $850.
The landlord was understanding for a while, but has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by August, the family must leave.
There are a toddler and a baby at home. Moving would mean new schools, a new commute and no deposit to put down anywhere else.
Volkan has started working two part-time jobs, and is 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 $850 goes:
• Rent arrears (3 months): $410
• Late fees and court costs: $75
• Utilities in arrears: $90
• First month of rent as a buffer: $275
Thank you so much.

Hope it all works out, Selim. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. God bless.
So sorry you're going through this, Selim. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. I'll check back for the next update. All the best.
take care. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Put this on a community board in Huntsville this morning. God bless
Hang in there, Selim. Gave what I could, wish it was more. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry
