Stop the eviction: 2 months of rent for Monica's family in Catania
The closure of the factory left Monica short on rent for 2 months; help us stay in our home.

After a sudden layoff at the bakery, I fell 2 months behind on rent. Last Wednesday a final eviction notice was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $2,900.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by August, 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 weekend shifts, 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 $2,900 goes:
• Rent arrears (2 months): $2,400
• Utilities in arrears: $90
• First month of rent as a buffer: $410
Thank you so much.

wishing you the best. Looking forward to the next update. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. All the best
Is there anything that isn't money that would help Monica?
Thank you. If you're in Catania I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Happy to explain more.
Praying for you. It takes guts to ask. Well done. God bless.
hope it all works out. Shared this with my family. I hope August is when things finally get easier. Love from San Francisco.
I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. I hope August is when things finally get easier. Take care.
