Stop the eviction: 3 months of rent for Paul's family in Kassel
A divorce left Paul short on rent for 3 months; help us stay in our home.
🇩🇪 Kassel, Hesse, Germany2,515 views
When the warehouse closed in September, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Wednesday a 10-day notice to quit was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $3,150.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by December, 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 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 $3,150 goes:
• Rent arrears (3 months): $2,350
• Late fees and court costs: $240
• Utilities in arrears: $115
• First month of rent as a buffer: $445

Good luck. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Love from Cairo.
Shared it with a few friends. Sent it to 29 people at work. Thinking of Kassel.
A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Love from Los Angeles.
A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Love from Dublin.
