Stop the eviction: 4 months of rent for Lina's family in Munich
After a delayed insurance payout, Lina is 4 months behind on rent and has a notice to vacate from the landlord.

When my hours were cut in half in December, Lina fell 4 months behind on rent. Last Saturday a notice to vacate was taped to the door, and the amount owed is $3,350.
The landlord was understanding for a while, but has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by February, the family must leave.
There are 4 children at home. Moving would mean new schools, a new commute and no deposit to put down anywhere else.
Lina has started working weekend shifts, and is 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 $3,350 goes:
• Utilities in arrears: $210
• Rent arrears (4 months): $2,400
• First month of rent as a buffer: $740
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

Rooting for you. Your post was clear and honest. I'm in teaching myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you.
Best of luck. Looking forward to the next update. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Thinking of Munich.
