Stop the eviction: 3 months of rent for Werner's family in Freiburg
The closure of the factory left Werner short on rent for 3 months; help us stay in our home.

After a sudden layoff at the call centre, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Friday a termination letter was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $3,600.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by November, we must leave.
I have a teenager still in school 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 weekend shifts, 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 $3,600 goes:
• First month of rent as a buffer: $450
• Rent arrears (3 months): $2,950
• Utilities in arrears: $200
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

Thinking of you, Werner. This could happen to any of us. I'm in farming myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. God bless.
Wishing you peace. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My husband and I read this together. Love from Kediri
best of luck. Hope you get there. I went through something like this 7 years ago and strangers helped me out. God bless.
thinking of you and your family, Werner. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Sent it to 38 people at work. Greetings from Casablanca
