Keep a roof over Claudia's head in Berlin
A delayed insurance payout left Claudia short on rent for 3 months; help us stay in our home.
🇩🇪 Berlin, Berlin, Germany3,823 views
When the packaging plant closed in July, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Monday a final eviction notice was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $3,550.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by November, we must leave.
I have three school-aged 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 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.
The money will be paid directly to the landlord and I'll upload the receipt once it's done.
Where the $3,550 goes:
• First month of rent as a buffer: $600
• Rent arrears (3 months): $2,600
• Late fees and court costs: $350

Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Claudia!
It's all in the list in the story. first month of rent as a buffer is the big one at $600, I'll post a receipt when it's paid. Fair thing to want to know.
sending good thoughts. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.
Thinking of you, Claudia. I hope things turn around soon. Put this on a community board in Faisalabad this morning.
Can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Berlin!
Wishing you the best, Claudia. Looking forward to the next update. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like.
Wishing you the best, Claudia. Shared this with my family. Blessings.

Wishing you peace, Claudia. Looking forward to the next update. I'm in logistics myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Love from Bengaluru.
Hang in there, Claudia. Hope this works out for you. I have a 14 year old who wants to send good wishes too
So sorry you're going through this, Claudia. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Put this on a community board in Manila this morning. Thinking of Berlin!
Rooting for you, Claudia. Shared this with my family. Blessings.
