Stop the eviction: 3 months of rent for Mykola's family in Saint Petersburg
A divorce left Mykola short on rent for 3 months; help us stay in our home.
🇷🇺 Saint Petersburg, Saint Petersburg, Russia597 views
After a car accident that kept me from work for 8 weeks, Mykola fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Tuesday a court summons for non-payment was taped to the door, and the amount owed is $1,100.
The landlord was understanding for a while, but has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by November, the family must leave.
There are two young children at home. Moving would mean new schools, a new commute and no deposit to put down anywhere else.
Mykola has started working two part-time jobs, and is 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 $1,100 goes:
• First month of rent as a buffer: $290
• Rent arrears (3 months): $760
• Utilities in arrears: $50
With deep gratitude,
Sofia

shared this with my family. Wish I lived closer to Joliet so I could bring a meal.
Thinking of you and your family. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. Thinking of Saint Petersburg.
I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. I went through something like this 5 years ago and strangers helped me out. Take care.
Thinking of you, Sofia. I hope things turn around soon. Wish I lived closer to Lalitpur so I could bring a meal. Take care.
Hope you get there. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Thinking of Saint Petersburg.
