Stop the eviction: 3 months of rent for Yusuf's family in Çankaya

A 10-day notice to quit arrived last week. Yusuf needs $1,000 to clear the arrears and stay housed in Çankaya.

Çankaya
When my hours were cut in half in June, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Thursday a 10-day notice to quit was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $1,000. My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by October, we must leave. I have a teenager still in school 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 night deliveries, 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 $1,000 goes: • Rent arrears (3 months): $790 • First month of rent as a buffer: $170 • Utilities in arrears: $40 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people. - Yusuf

Updates from Yusuf

  1. Good news. Because of your gifts ($192 in total) the plan for first month of rent as a buffer is now scheduled. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

  2. Update from Çankaya: we've booked the dates and paid the deposit. We're at 7% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.
