Keep a roof over Florian's head in Strasbourg
After a sudden layoff, Florian is 5 months behind on rent and has a termination letter from the landlord.

After a car accident that kept me from work for 7 weeks, I fell 5 months behind on rent. Last Wednesday a termination letter was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $2,150.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by December, 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 evenings as a cleaner, and I'm 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 $2,150 goes:
• Late fees and court costs: $290
• Utilities in arrears: $145
• Rent arrears (5 months): $1,715
Thanks for reading all this.

Gave what I could, wish it was more. I'm in social work myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you!
Good luck, Florian. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. All the best.
praying for you, Florian. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Blessings
