Stop the eviction: 2 months of rent for Waleed's family in Marseille
After a divorce, Waleed is 2 months behind on rent and has a notice to vacate from the landlord.
🇫🇷 Marseille, Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur, France1,708 views
When my hours were cut in half in June, Waleed fell 2 months behind on rent. Last Sunday a notice to vacate was taped to the door, and the amount owed is $850.
The landlord was understanding for a while, but has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by September, the family must leave.
There are 1 children at home. Moving would mean new schools, a new commute and no deposit to put down anywhere else.
Waleed has started working weekend shifts, and is 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 $850 goes:
• Late fees and court costs: $130
• First month of rent as a buffer: $600
• Utilities in arrears: $120
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

Updates from Mona
Thank you all. We're at 16% now ($137). I'm honestly stunned. the plan for first month of rent as a buffer is now scheduled.
Quick update: $92 raised so far (11%). I made the first payment toward late fees and court costs. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.
