Keep a roof over Yvonne's head in Eindhoven
The closure of the factory left Yvonne short on rent for 2 months; help us stay in our home.

After a sudden layoff at the textile factory, I fell 2 months behind on rent. Last Monday a final eviction notice was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $3,450.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by April, 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 two part-time jobs, 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 $3,450 goes:
• Rent arrears (2 months): $2,250
• Late fees and court costs: $240
• Utilities in arrears: $270
• First month of rent as a buffer: $690
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Yvonne
Rent arrears (2 months) is $2,250 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Let me know if you want more detail.
Sending love. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Put this on a community board in Montgomery this morning. All the best!
Sending strength. Hope this works out for you. Put this on a community board in Bahir Dar this morning. Take care
Sending strength. Shared it with a few friends. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Blessings
Hang in there, Yvonne. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. Greetings from Greensboro
So sorry you're going through this, Yvonne. Hope you get there
