After a car accident that kept me from work for 8 weeks, Sebastian fell 2 months behind on rent. Last Thursday a final eviction notice was taped to the door, and the amount owed is $2,550. The landlord was understanding for a while, but has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by August, the family must leave. There are a toddler and a baby at home. Moving would mean new schools, a new commute and no deposit to put down anywhere else. Sebastian has started working evenings as a cleaner, 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 $2,550 goes: • Rent arrears (2 months): $1,350 • Late fees and court costs: $360 • Utilities in arrears: $240 • First month of rent as a buffer: $600 Every share and every dollar helps.

    shared it with a few friends. After 9 years in logistics I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Blessings.

      Take care. Gave what I could, wish it was more. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Love from Cambridge

          So sorry you're going through this, Victoria. This could happen to any of us. We're a small family in Galle but we're thinking of you.

            I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Put this on a community board in Nuremberg this morning.
