Stop the eviction: 3 months of rent for Rainer's family in Freiburg
A delayed insurance payout left Rainer short on rent for 3 months; help us stay in our home.

Following a long illness in the family, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Sunday a termination letter was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $2,650.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by May, we must leave.
I've 4 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 evenings as a cleaner, 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 $2,650 goes:
• Late fees and court costs: $230
• Rent arrears (3 months): $1,900
• First month of rent as a buffer: $520

Sending good thoughts. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Blessings
Sending love, Rainer. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. Greetings from Faisalabad.
take care, Rainer. Your post was clear and honest. After 26 years in public service I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
Sending love. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. We're a small family in Epe but we're thinking of you.
Keep going, Rainer. Looking forward to the next update. Blessings.
