Stop the eviction: 3 months of rent for Catalin's family in București

A delayed insurance payout left Catalin short on rent for 3 months; help us stay in our home.

București
When the call centre closed in September, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Thursday a final eviction notice was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $1,150. 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 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 night deliveries, 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 $1,150 goes: • Rent arrears (3 months): $790 • Late fees and court costs: $65 • Utilities in arrears: $50 • First month of rent as a buffer: $245 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support. - Catalin
