Stop the eviction: 3 months of rent for Elena's family in Kharkiv
A car accident left Elena short on rent for 3 months; help us stay in our home.

Following a long illness in the family, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Tuesday a termination letter was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $950.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by November, 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.
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 $950 goes:
• Rent arrears (3 months): $740
• Late fees and court costs: $55
• Utilities in arrears: $20
• First month of rent as a buffer: $135
With deep gratitude,
Elena

Take care, Elena. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I'll check back for the next update.
Hope things get better soon, Elena. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. God bless
I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. We're a small family in Limerick but we're thinking of you.
So sorry you're going through this, Elena. This could happen to any of us. My husband and I read this together. Take care.
So sorry you're going through this, Elena. Hope this works out for you. Greetings from Los Angeles
