Stop the eviction: 4 months of rent for Maria's family in Kazan
A car accident left Maria short on rent for 4 months; help us stay in our home.

After a sudden layoff at the textile factory, I fell 4 months behind on rent. Last Friday a notice to vacate was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $1,400.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by August, we must leave.
I have three school-aged 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 two part-time jobs, 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 $1,400 goes:
• Rent arrears (4 months): $980
• Late fees and court costs: $80
• Utilities in arrears: $60
• First month of rent as a buffer: $280
Thanks for being kind about this.

Sending strength, Maria. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. After 12 years in logistics I know how hard it's to ask for anything. All the best.
Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Love from Gujranwala
