Stop the eviction: 2 months of rent for Antonio's family in Salerno

A 10-day notice to quit arrived last week. Antonio needs $2,250 to clear the arrears and stay housed in Salerno.

When my hours were cut in half in July, I fell 2 months behind on rent. Last Friday a 10-day notice to quit was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $2,250. 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. Funds go to the landlord and nowhere else. Any amount left over after the arrears are cleared will go toward next month's rent. Where the $2,250 goes: • Late fees and court costs: $220 • First month of rent as a buffer: $470 • Rent arrears (2 months): $1,560 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Updates from Antonio

  1. Update from Salerno: we've started the first stage. We're at 82% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

  2. Wanted to say thank you properly. 55% funded and I met with the landlord and confirmed the amounts.

  3. Good news. Because of your gifts ($755 in total) I made the first payment toward late fees and court costs. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
