Keep a roof over Léa's head in Reims

A final eviction notice arrived last week. Léa needs $2,850 to clear the arrears and stay housed in Reims.

After a car accident that kept me from work for 4 weeks, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Wednesday a final eviction notice was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $2,850. My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by January, 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 two part-time jobs, 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 $2,850 goes: • Rent arrears (3 months): $2,050 • Late fees and court costs: $195 • Utilities in arrears: $115 • First month of rent as a buffer: $490 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it. - Léa
