Hello dear people, helpers & helpers' hearts

I don't really know how to start.

I'm worried about poverty, not to say I'm terrified of possibly becoming homeless.

The reasons for this are the increased cost of living, rental costs, ancillary rental costs and the loss of my job.

Last year I fell ill with a stomach bug which I'm still struggling with a year later.

I'm sure you're familiar with this: doctors, examinations and the resulting negative results and medication.

I ignored the illness for the first six months because I was employed as a temporary worker at a very well-known car manufacturer.

I did this because I was being considered for a job and there had already been initial interviews and a trial period.

I also earned really well as a temporary worker in a 3-shift system and was able to put a few pennies aside, but after more than a year these are no longer there.

Unfortunately, my illness worsened so that I sometimes had to take 2 days off a week, sometimes with a sick note,

but I also tried not to use the sick note option too often by taking holidays and working overtime so as not to jeopardise my transfer to the temporary employment agency.

After my illness continued to worsen, I naturally had to fall back on the sick note completely

because at some point every hour of overtime is used up, and it was also medically necessary.

Only the amount to be paid out per month was too low, which led to the first delays in payments.

After 4 weeks, I applied to the health insurance fund for sick pay, as I should, so that there would be no delay in week 6.

This was followed by one month of inpatient treatment in a clinic.

Even before I started this important recovery programme, my employer dismissed me, but without giving any reasons and without considering a redundancy plan.

of a social dismissal plan. I filed a lawsuit and, as always, it is dragging on.

I would like to earn some extra money, but unfortunately as an Alg1 recipient I'm only allowed to earn 150 euros and as I still have a sickness certificate, that's not going to happen, at least for the time being.

But now to the real problem

The rental costs and the ancillary rental costs have risen, so all living costs have also risen.

In 2021, I moved for my new employer.

I looked for a flat and found one that was cheap and small, but I hadn't heard of Vonovia before,

the choice of flats was very small and so I moved in.

Unfortunately, the warm rent has now risen from 400 euros to 630 euros.

The price of electricity will fall next year, for example, but the basic fee will be raised, so you still end up paying more.

When I was working, it was no problem to pay, but now, as an unemployed person with a health insurance certificate, it's a completely different story.

The housing market in the town makes it difficult to find a flat and without capital it won't be possible to move anyway because I don't live here

I don't live in my home town where friends could help.

I could still turn to my family, but as my mother and grandparents have already passed away and there is no contact with my father, that's out of the question.

I would like to move, but it would simply require capital as I have already accumulated small rental debts in the 3-digit range,

the prices for removal companies have risen and a deposit has to be paid for a new flat.

The only problem with the deposit is that the landlords always want it in advance in the new flat and where I live, of course, you don't get it until you move out.

only after moving out and with Vonovia it can take 2 months, as I've been told by acquaintances.

In the end I estimate that I'll need around 5000 euros for the move, deposit and renovation, which I simply don't have and will end up in a vicious circle of debt.

I can only appeal to your heart here because I'm not terminally ill or have to bring a deceased person home or anything like that, but I wouldn't start this action if I didn't see the need behind it.

Of course, I also try to sell items that are not absolutely necessary in my household via Ebay classifieds.

Starting with a crockery set, football shirts, CocaCola fan bundle, chop saw and much more.
