Keep a roof over Marcel's head in Düsseldorf

After a sudden layoff, Marcel is 4 months behind on rent and has a termination letter from the landlord.

When the packaging plant closed in October, I fell 4 months behind on rent. Last Monday a termination letter was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $2,650. 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 teenager still in school 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 $2,650 goes: • Late fees and court costs: $250 • Rent arrears (4 months): $1,900 • First month of rent as a buffer: $500 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.
