After a car accident that kept me from work for 5 weeks, Nada fell 2 months behind on rent. Last Friday a court summons for non-payment was taped to the door, and the amount owed is $2,250. The landlord was understanding for a while, but has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by April, the family must leave. There are a toddler and a baby at home. Moving would mean new schools, a new commute and no deposit to put down anywhere else. Nada has started working weekend shifts, and is 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: • Rent arrears (2 months): $1,800 • Utilities in arrears: $80 • First month of rent as a buffer: $370 I hope life is good to you. - Sara

    This is what community support looks like. They didn't just offer generic advice; they provided personalized help tailored to my specific situation.

          Sending good thoughts, Sara. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I'm in social work myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you.

          • Thinking of you, Sara. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. My neighbor in Düsseldorf donated after I showed her your page. Take care.
