Keep a roof over Hiba's head in Paris
The loss of a second income left Hiba short on rent for 3 months; help us stay in our home.
🇫🇷 Paris, Île-de-France, France2,639 views
When the packaging plant closed in June, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Friday a notice to vacate was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $3,100.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by October, we must leave.
I have two young children 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 extra hours at a market stall, and I'm applying for help from local services, but nothing will arrive in time without the rest of the gap covered here.
The money will be paid directly to the landlord and I'll upload the receipt once it's done.
Where the $3,100 goes:
• Rent arrears (3 months): $2,150
• Late fees and court costs: $185
• Utilities in arrears: $105
• First month of rent as a buffer: $660
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Hope things get better soon, Hiba. Hope this works out for you. Blessings
It takes guts to ask. Well done. We're a small family in Austin but we're thinking of you.
Keep going, Hiba. Your post was clear and honest. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. God bless
Stay strong. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day
Hang in there, Hiba. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I hope October is when things finally get easier
Wishing you the best, Hiba. Shared this with my family. I'm in accounting myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you
