Keep a roof over Justine's head in Paris
After a long illness, Justine is 4 months behind on rent and has a notice to vacate from the landlord.

Following a long illness in the family, I fell 4 months behind on rent. Last Monday a notice to vacate was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $950.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by June, 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 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 $950 goes:
• First month of rent as a buffer: $580
• Late fees and court costs: $200
• Utilities in arrears: $170
With deep gratitude,
Justine

Can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Paris.
Thank you. If you're in Paris I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great.
Wishing you peace. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. We're a small family in Jeddah but we're thinking of you.
I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Take care
Hope it all works out. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Thinking of Paris.
