Keep a roof over Yasmin's head in Palermo
After a divorce, Yasmin is 3 months behind on rent and has a final eviction notice from the landlord.
🇮🇹 Palermo, Sicily, Italy2,185 views
After a sudden layoff at the warehouse, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Friday a final eviction notice was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $650.
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 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 $650 goes:
• Late fees and court costs: $95
• Utilities in arrears: $80
• First month of rent as a buffer: $475
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

keep going, Yasmin. Looking forward to the next update. Please keep us posted. Greetings from Marseille.
is there anything that isn't money that would help Yasmin?
Thank you. If you're in Palermo I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Thanks, that means a lot.
Sending good thoughts. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. I went through something like this 14 years ago and strangers helped me out. Greetings from Kilkenny.
Rooting for you, Yasmin. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Thinking of Palermo.
Rooting for you. Shared it with a few friends. All the best
Hope it all works out, Yasmin. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. I'm in construction myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Blessings.
A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. I hope November is when things finally get easier. Take care.
