Stop the eviction: 5 months of rent for Ryszard's family in Kraków
A car accident left Ryszard short on rent for 5 months; help us stay in our home.
🇵🇱 30-834, Kraków, Lesser Poland, Poland759 views
After a car accident that kept me from work for 12 weeks, I fell 5 months behind on rent. Last Saturday a 10-day notice to quit was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $1,750.
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 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.
The money will be paid directly to the landlord and I'll upload the receipt once it's done.
Where the $1,750 goes:
• Rent arrears (5 months): $1,150
• Late fees and court costs: $140
• Utilities in arrears: $40
• First month of rent as a buffer: $420
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Is there anything that isn't money that would help Ryszard?
Thank you. If you're in Kraków I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Thanks for asking.
sending love. Shared it with a few friends. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. God bless.
Sending strength, Ryszard. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Sent it to 18 people at work. Take care!
