Stop the eviction: 3 months of rent for Martina's family in Bologna
A divorce left Martina short on rent for 3 months; help us stay in our home.
🇮🇹 Bologna, Emilia-Romagna, Italy1,113 views
After a car accident that kept me from work for 8 weeks, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Friday a court summons for non-payment was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $1,100.
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.
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 $1,100 goes:
• First month of rent as a buffer: $720
• Utilities in arrears: $165
• Late fees and court costs: $215
Every share and every dollar helps.

Thinking of you. Hope you get there. Greetings from Barcelona
Thinking of you and your family, Martina. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. My father had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. All the best.
I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. I'm in retail myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. God bless.
Thanks for sharing this, Martina. Your post was clear and honest. We're a small family in Santa Fe but we're thinking of you
Wishing you peace, Martina. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Blessings.
