Keep a roof over Nina's head in Berlin

Following a long illness in the family, I fell 5 months behind on rent. Last Thursday a court summons for non-payment 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 May, we must leave.
I have a toddler and a baby 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 $3,550 goes:
• Rent arrears (5 months): $2,450
• Late fees and court costs: $170
• Utilities in arrears: $150
• First month of rent as a buffer: $780
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

sending love, Nina. Your post was clear and honest. Love from Coimbatore.
Hope it all works out. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Greetings from Mekelle.
Sending good thoughts, Nina. It takes guts to ask. Well done.
Thanks for sharing this, Nina. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Greetings from Nottingham.
