Keep a roof over Astrid's head in Malmö
After a car accident, Astrid is 5 months behind on rent and has a termination letter from the landlord.
🇸🇪 Malmö, Skåne, Sweden1,086 views
Following a long illness in the family, I fell 5 months behind on rent. Last Friday a termination letter was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $3,250.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by May, 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 weekend shifts, 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 $3,250 goes:
• First month of rent as a buffer: $550
• Late fees and court costs: $290
• Rent arrears (5 months): $2,410
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

how is Astrid doing now?
Sending love, Astrid. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it.
Is there anything that isn't money that would help Astrid?
Good luck, Astrid. This could happen to any of us. I'll check back for the next update. All the best.
Hope you get there. Sent it to 14 people at work. Blessings
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Astrid
First month of rent as a buffer is $550 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Fair thing to want to know.
Stay strong, Astrid. Shared this with my family.
stay strong, Astrid. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier.
Praying for you. Hope this works out for you. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.
Stay strong. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Wish I lived closer to Mumbai so I could bring a meal. God bless
Sending love, Astrid. Hope this works out for you.
