A notice to vacate arrived last week. Viktor needs $950 to clear the arrears and stay housed in Moscow.

Following a long illness in the family, I fell 4 months behind on rent. Last Tuesday a notice to vacate was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $950. My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by September, 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 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. 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 $950 goes: • Rent arrears (4 months): $560 • Late fees and court costs: $95 • Utilities in arrears: $70 • First month of rent as a buffer: $225 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly. - Viktor

      Hope things get better soon. Gave what I could, wish it was more. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Blessings.
