Stop the eviction: 5 months of rent for Marisa's family in Brescia

After a long illness, Marisa is 5 months behind on rent and has a court summons for non-payment from the landlord.

When the textile factory closed in April, I fell 5 months behind on rent. Last Thursday a court summons for non-payment was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $1,800. 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 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 $1,800 goes: • Rent arrears (5 months): $1,100 • First month of rent as a buffer: $470 • Late fees and court costs: $230 Glad we found this place.

Updates from Marisa

  1. Good news. Because of your gifts ($263 in total) we've booked the dates and paid the deposit. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

  2. Quick update: $188 raised so far (10%). we've started the first stage. Receipts coming as soon as I have them. - Marisa

              I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Wish I lived closer to Zagazig so I could bring a meal. Take care
