Keep a roof over Jean's head in Limoges

A cut in working hours left Jean short on rent for 3 months; help us stay in our home.

Limoges
When my hours were cut in half in February, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Friday a termination letter was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $3,600. 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 three school-aged 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 weekend shifts, 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 $3,600 goes: • Rent arrears (3 months): $2,350 • Late fees and court costs: $165 • Utilities in arrears: $270 • First month of rent as a buffer: $815 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

                  Wishing you peace, Jean. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Blessings.
