Stop the eviction: 3 months of rent for Volkan's family in Konya
The loss of a second income left Volkan short on rent for 3 months; help us stay in our home.
🇹🇷 Konya, Türkiye2,224 views
When my hours were cut in half in March, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Sunday a 10-day notice to quit was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $750.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by June, 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 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 $750 goes:
• Rent arrears (3 months): $510
• Late fees and court costs: $30
• Utilities in arrears: $45
• First month of rent as a buffer: $165
I hope life is good to you.

How is Volkan doing now?
Take care. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Take care.
can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Konya
Thank you. If you're in Konya I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Thanks for looking so closely.
Sending good thoughts, Volkan. Your post was clear and honest. Put this on a community board in Moscow this morning. Take care.
This could happen to any of us. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Thinking of Konya.
Shared it with a few friends. I went through something like this 6 years ago and strangers helped me out. God bless.
Thinking of you and your family. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend
I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. I'm in teaching myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Love from Port Harcourt
