Stop the eviction: 3 months of rent for Ioanna's family in Thessaloniki

After a car accident, Ioanna is 3 months behind on rent and has a notice to vacate from the landlord.

Following a long illness in the family, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Sunday a notice to vacate was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $2,200. 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 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 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. The money will be paid directly to the landlord and I'll upload the receipt once it's done. Where the $2,200 goes: • Rent arrears (3 months): $1,250 • Late fees and court costs: $220 • Utilities in arrears: $140 • First month of rent as a buffer: $590 Thanks for being kind about this.

Updates from Ioanna

  1. Good news. Because of your gifts ($579 in total) I made the first payment toward utilities in arrears. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

  2. Small update. $390 so far, I made the first payment toward first month of rent as a buffer.
