Zeynep received an eviction notice - help us catch up on rent

A final eviction notice arrived last week. Zeynep needs $1,000 to clear the arrears and stay housed in Istanbul.

When the restaurant closed in July, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Thursday a final eviction notice 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 October, 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 $1,000 goes: • Rent arrears (3 months): $630 • Late fees and court costs: $90 • Utilities in arrears: $30 • First month of rent as a buffer: $250 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.
