Keep a roof over Patrick's head in Boulogne-Billancourt
After a sudden layoff, Patrick is 4 months behind on rent and has a final eviction notice from the landlord.

After a sudden layoff at the packaging plant, I fell 4 months behind on rent. Last Friday 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 October, 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.
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:
• Utilities in arrears: $130
• Rent arrears (4 months): $2,150
• Late fees and court costs: $120
Glad we found this place.

You're not alone, Patrick. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. God bless.
keep going, Patrick. Shared this with my family. I went through something like this 14 years ago and strangers helped me out!
Wishing you the best, Patrick. Hope you get there. My brother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home
your post was clear and honest. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Love from Mannheim.
