Yağmur received an eviction notice - help us catch up on rent
A termination letter arrived last week. Yağmur needs $1,000 to clear the arrears and stay housed in Kadıköy.

After a sudden layoff at the call centre, I fell 4 months behind on rent. Last Saturday a termination letter was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $1,000.
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 two young 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 $1,000 goes:
• Rent arrears (4 months): $730
• Late fees and court costs: $50
• Utilities in arrears: $70
• First month of rent as a buffer: $150
Thanks for reading all this.

Sending good thoughts, Yağmur. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.
how is Yağmur doing now?
You're not alone. This could happen to any of us. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Thinking of Kadıköy.
is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Yağmur
The list at the bottom is the whole picture. rent arrears (4 months) is the biggest at $730. Thanks, that means a lot.
Hope things get better soon, Yağmur. Looking forward to the next update. Blessings.
Sending strength, Yağmur. Shared it with a few friends. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it.
Is there anything that isn't money that would help Yağmur?
Thank you. If you're in Kadıköy I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Good question.

Hang in there, Yağmur. Your post was clear and honest. After 15 years in public service I know how hard it's to ask for anything.

Praying for you, Yağmur. This could happen to any of us. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Blessings!
