Stop the eviction: 3 months of rent for Giorgio's family in Padua

When the restaurant closed in July, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Friday a 10-day notice to quit was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $2,400. 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. The money will be paid directly to the landlord and I'll upload the receipt once it's done. Where the $2,400 goes: • Rent arrears (3 months): $1,700 • First month of rent as a buffer: $550 • Late fees and court costs: $150 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.
