Stop the eviction: 3 months of rent for Marina's family in Moscow

When the hotel closed in September, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Wednesday a notice to vacate 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 November, we must leave. I've 3 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: • First month of rent as a buffer: $165 • Rent arrears (3 months): $1,000 • Late fees and court costs: $35 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.
