Stop the eviction: 4 months of rent for Serena's family in Bergamo
After a delayed insurance payout, Serena is 4 months behind on rent and has a notice to vacate from the landlord.

When my hours were cut in half in July, I fell 4 months behind on rent. Last Monday a notice to vacate was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $3,150.
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 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 $3,150 goes:
• First month of rent as a buffer: $620
• Rent arrears (4 months): $2,300
• Utilities in arrears: $230
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

keep going, Serena. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. I hope October is when things finally get easier. God bless!
Thanks for sharing this, Serena. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. Greetings from Swansea.
Praying for you. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. After 20 years in customer support I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Thinking of Bergamo.
Praying for you, Serena. Looking forward to the next update. I went through something like this 10 years ago and strangers helped me out. Greetings from Kilkenny.
Thinking of you, Serena. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.
