Keep a roof over Milan's head in Haarlem

A termination letter arrived last week. Milan needs $2,250 to clear the arrears and stay housed in Haarlem.

After a sudden layoff at the construction firm, I fell 4 months behind on rent. Last Monday a termination letter was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $2,250. 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. The money will be paid directly to the landlord and I'll upload the receipt once it's done. Where the $2,250 goes: • Utilities in arrears: $110 • Rent arrears (4 months): $1,500 • First month of rent as a buffer: $640 With deep gratitude, Milan

    Is there anything that isn't money that would help Milan?

      Thank you. If you're in Haarlem I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Happy to explain more.

    Praying for you, Milan. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. My father had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
