Stop the eviction: 3 months of rent for Antonella's family in Rome

A termination letter arrived last week. Antonella needs $1,200 to clear the arrears and stay housed in Rome.

When my hours were cut in half in October, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Wednesday a termination letter was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $1,200. My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by February, we must leave. I have three school-aged 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 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 $1,200 goes: • Late fees and court costs: $290 • Utilities in arrears: $125 • First month of rent as a buffer: $785 Thanks for being kind about this.

Updates from Antonella

  1. Good news. Because of your gifts ($826 in total) we've started the first stage. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
