Stop the eviction: 3 months of rent for Shira's family in Tel Aviv
A sudden layoff left Shira short on rent for 3 months; help us stay in our home.

After a car accident that kept me from work for 7 weeks, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Tuesday a 10-day notice to quit was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $1,850.
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 a toddler and a baby 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 evenings as a cleaner, 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 $1,850 goes:
• Utilities in arrears: $120
• Rent arrears (3 months): $1,400
• Late fees and court costs: $330
Thanks for being kind about this.

Thinking of you and your family, Shira. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Love from Bronx
So sorry you're going through this. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. I'm in social work myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you
Take care, Shira. Shared this with my family. We're a small family in St. Petersburg but we're thinking of you. God bless
Sending love, Shira. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. Blessings
Wishing you peace, Shira. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.
So sorry you're going through this. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We're a small family in Durban but we're thinking of you. Blessings
