Keep a roof over Inès's head in Saint-Denis

A divorce left Inès short on rent for 5 months; help us stay in our home.

Saint-Denis
After a sudden layoff at the warehouse, I fell 5 months behind on rent. Last Monday a final eviction notice was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $2,400. My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by April, 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 night deliveries, 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 $2,400 goes: • Rent arrears (5 months): $1,600 • Utilities in arrears: $115 • First month of rent as a buffer: $685 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot. - Inès
