Stop the eviction: 3 months of rent for Milena's family in Odesa

After a sudden layoff at the bakery, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Saturday a 10-day notice to quit was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $550. My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by September, 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 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 $550 goes: • First month of rent as a buffer: $105 • Late fees and court costs: $25 • Rent arrears (3 months): $420 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.
