Stop the eviction: 5 months of rent for Petro's family in Kharkiv
After a delayed insurance payout, Petro is 5 months behind on rent and has a court summons for non-payment from the landlord.

After a car accident that kept me from work for 6 weeks, I fell 5 months behind on rent. Last Wednesday a court summons for non-payment was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $800.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by November, 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 weekend shifts, 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 $800 goes:
• First month of rent as a buffer: $120
• Rent arrears (5 months): $650
• Late fees and court costs: $30
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.
