Help Clara keep her home - 4 months behind on rent
A divorce left Clara short on rent for 4 months; help us stay in our home.
🇩🇪 Germany1,024 views
When the packaging plant closed in April, Clara fell 4 months behind on rent. Last Sunday a notice to vacate was taped to the door, and the amount owed is $3,000.
The landlord was understanding for a while, but has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by July, the family must leave.
There are three school-aged children at home. Moving would mean new schools, a new commute and no deposit to put down anywhere else.
Clara has started working night deliveries, and is 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 $3,000 goes:
• Rent arrears (4 months): $1,850
• Late fees and court costs: $260
• First month of rent as a buffer: $890
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

Sending love, Johanna. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Wish I lived closer to Amsterdam so I could bring a meal. All the best.
thinking of you and your family, Johanna. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. Wish I lived closer to Lucknow so I could bring a meal!
So sorry you're going through this. I hope things turn around soon. Love from Syracuse
Thinking of you, Johanna. Shared it with a few friends. We're a small family in Aurangabad but we're thinking of you.
Stay strong, Johanna. Hope this works out for you. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Greetings from Lagos.
