Keep a roof over Nina's head in Berlin

A court summons for non-payment arrived last week. Nina needs $3,550 to clear the arrears and stay housed 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.
