Stop the eviction: 3 months of rent for Luuk's family in Haarlem

A final eviction notice arrived last week. Luuk needs $5,000 to clear the arrears and stay housed in Haarlem.

After a sudden layoff at the restaurant, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Wednesday a final eviction notice was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $5,000. My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by June, we must leave. I've 1 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 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. The money will be paid directly to the landlord and I'll upload the receipt once it's done. Where the $5,000 goes: • Rent arrears (3 months): $3,250 • Late fees and court costs: $310 • Utilities in arrears: $320 • First month of rent as a buffer: $1,120 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

    I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. We're a small family in Stuttgart but we're thinking of you. Blessings.

        Rooting for you, Luuk. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. All the best.
