Keep a roof over Zoe's head in Patras
The closure of the factory left Zoe short on rent for 3 months; help us stay in our home.
🇬🇷 Patras, Western Greece, Greece1,369 views
When the hotel closed in August, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Thursday a court summons for non-payment was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $1,900.
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 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 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 $1,900 goes:
• Rent arrears (3 months): $1,250
• Late fees and court costs: $120
• Utilities in arrears: $80
• First month of rent as a buffer: $450
Glad we found this place.

Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. After 25 years in customer support I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Take care.
Hope it all works out, Zoe. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Blessings.
Any update on how things are going in Patras?

Wishing you the best, Zoe. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. Sent it to 21 people at work. All the best.

sending strength. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Wish I lived closer to Buffalo so I could bring a meal!
