Help Geneviève keep her home - 4 months behind on rent
A 10-day notice to quit arrived last week. Geneviève needs $1,100 to clear the arrears and stay housed in Saint-Denis.

When the hotel closed in May, Geneviève fell 4 months behind on rent. Last Monday a 10-day notice to quit was taped to the door, and the amount owed is $1,100.
The landlord was understanding for a while, but has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by August, the family must leave.
There are a toddler and a baby at home. Moving would mean new schools, a new commute and no deposit to put down anywhere else.
Geneviève 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 $1,100 goes:
• Late fees and court costs: $210
• First month of rent as a buffer: $670
• Utilities in arrears: $220
