Apparently, my school has raised an issue regarding my attendance at school (which I have tried to keep up as much as my mental health allows it), which will require me to prove using a medical certificate that I had some medical reason to not attend school those days.
Not having a Therapist which could give me such a medical certificate, they will probably fine me up to 1000€ (from what my limited research seems to suggest).
If I am lucky, I can get them to agree on a medical certificate from a normal doctor for the past ~2 weeks, but usually the fine is capped at ~1000€ and is increased with each day that you couldn't attend (which are a lot)
As such, as much as I hate to ask for this, I'd like to ask you to chip in support as neither I or my immediate family would be able to cover the costs.
This is urgent, because I do not know how much time is between now, and when they demand a fine.
Me having to pay a fine is pretty much guaranteed as I don't have medical certificates to back me up.

@[email protected] I cannot get medical certificates from a regular doctor for (most) mental health reasons, as those have told me to get a therapist instead. Judging from the experience of various friends, getting a therapist here takes 3-6 months of waiting for a reply alone, and another 3-4 months until you can actually start going to therapy. I couldn't go to school due to my declining mental health and the school - as the party that has to enforce Schulpflicht - stepped in to demand I prove that I have good reason not to come using a doctors/medical certificate. If I cannot prove it using a medical certificate, there is a fine between 80-150€ per day (for the state I'm in) that I did not / could not attend school. The cap is at 1000€. I've only done very limited research into what is about to come my way, and I'm willing to correct the goal if I've misread anything. Sources are here: - https://www.bussgeld-info.de/schulverweigerung-bussgeld/ - https://www.brd.nrw.de/themen/schule-bildung/schulrecht-und-schulverwaltung/schulpflichtueberwachung I am also surprised they only decided to contact me regarding this after so many days. Usually they are required to report anything after 10 days total. Also note that I set the goal for the campaign to the 1000€ cap in my state because I have NO IDEA how high they will end up making it - none, zero. I'll refund what I don't need if it ends up being too much, everything else would be a shitty move. In all honestly, I'm just scared and want to be prepared for the worst.
