Keep a roof over Juliette's head in Saint-Étienne

A court summons for non-payment arrived last week. Juliette needs $2,800 to clear the arrears and stay housed in Saint-Étienne.

Saint-Étienne
When the warehouse closed in April, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Monday a court summons for non-payment was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $2,800. My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by August, 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 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 $2,800 goes: • First month of rent as a buffer: $890 • Rent arrears (3 months): $1,750 • Late fees and court costs: $160 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.
