Stop the eviction: 3 months of rent for Andrea's family in Duisburg
After a long illness, Andrea is 3 months behind on rent and has a termination letter from the landlord.

After a car accident that kept me from work for 5 weeks, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Monday a termination letter was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $3,250.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by October, we must leave.
I have two young 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 $3,250 goes:
• Rent arrears (3 months): $2,000
• Late fees and court costs: $120
• Utilities in arrears: $320
• First month of rent as a buffer: $810
With deep gratitude,
Andrea

Keep going. I hope things turn around soon. After 23 years in farming I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Blessings.
Shared it with a few friends. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Love from Regensburg.
your post was clear and honest. We're a small family in Tokyo but we're thinking of you.
Thinking of you. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. Greetings from Addis Ababa.
Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I'll check back for the next update. Thinking of Duisburg.
Sending strength. Hope you get there. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Blessings.
Sending strength, Andrea. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. My husband and I read this together. God bless.

You're not alone, Andrea. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I hope October is when things finally get easier!
Sending love, Andrea. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Thinking of Duisburg.
hope it all works out, Andrea. I hope things turn around soon. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Love from Saint-Denis.
So sorry you're going through this, Andrea. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Blessings
Hope things get better soon, Andrea. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Blessings
