Keep a roof over Efe's head in Munich
After a divorce, Efe is 4 months behind on rent and has a notice to vacate from the landlord.

When my hours were cut in half in August, I fell 4 months behind on rent. Last Saturday a notice to vacate was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $3,100.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by December, 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 night deliveries, 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 $3,100 goes:
• Rent arrears (4 months): $2,050
• Late fees and court costs: $200
• Utilities in arrears: $230
• First month of rent as a buffer: $620
Thank you for reading my story.

Stay strong, Efe. Looking forward to the next update. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Love from Anaheim
Gave what I could, wish it was more. Wish I lived closer to Epe so I could bring a meal. Love from Shreveport.
best of luck, Efe. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My mother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Thinking of Munich.
