Keep a roof over Andrea's head in Dortmund
After the closure of the factory, Andrea is 2 months behind on rent and has a termination letter from the landlord.

When my hours were cut in half in November, I fell 2 months behind on rent. Last Friday a termination letter was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $3,600.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by January, 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 extra hours at a market stall, 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 $3,600 goes:
• Rent arrears (2 months): $2,400
• Late fees and court costs: $210
• Utilities in arrears: $220
• First month of rent as a buffer: $770
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Shared this with my family. Put this on a community board in Mangaluru this morning. Love from Mangaluru
Praying for you, Andrea. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Thinking of Dortmund.
So sorry you're going through this. Looking forward to the next update. Don't give up. Blessings.
Good luck, Andrea. Your post was clear and honest. I'll check back for the next update.
Hope things get better soon. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I went through something like this 10 years ago and strangers helped me out. Love from Galway
