Stop the eviction: 4 months of rent for Recep's family in Istanbul
After a car accident, Recep is 4 months behind on rent and has a final eviction notice from the landlord.

When the restaurant closed in May, I fell 4 months behind on rent. Last Monday a final eviction notice 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 July, 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 extra hours at a market stall, 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 (4 months): $490
• Late fees and court costs: $35
• Utilities in arrears: $60
• First month of rent as a buffer: $165

Sending strength, Recep. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. God bless.
Sending good thoughts, Recep. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. I hope July is when things finally get easier. Thinking of Istanbul.
so sorry you're going through this. This could happen to any of us. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Blessings.

Best of luck, Recep. Shared it with a few friends. I went through something like this 3 years ago and strangers helped me out. Blessings.
Praying for you. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Wish I lived closer to George so I could bring a meal. Thinking of Istanbul
Sending love. Looking forward to the next update. My colleague had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Greetings from Jakarta.
