A notice to vacate arrived last week. Vitaly needs $800 to clear the arrears and stay housed in Kyiv.

When the textile factory closed in January, I fell 5 months behind on rent. Last Tuesday a notice to vacate 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 April, 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 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. The money will be paid directly to the landlord and I'll upload the receipt once it's done. Where the $800 goes: • Rent arrears (5 months): $640 • Late fees and court costs: $30 • Utilities in arrears: $25 • First month of rent as a buffer: $105 Every share and every dollar helps.

  • Sending good thoughts. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Love from Toronto.

    • Hope things get better soon. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Wish I lived closer to Petrópolis so I could bring a meal. Take care.

      • gave what I could, wish it was more. Put this on a community board in Boulogne-Billancourt this morning. God bless.

        • Good luck. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Take care.

          • It takes guts to ask. Well done. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Thinking of Kyiv.
