Stop the eviction: 3 months of rent for Louise's family in Marseille
A 10-day notice to quit arrived last week. Louise needs $2,850 to clear the arrears and stay housed in Marseille.

After a sudden layoff at the restaurant, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Wednesday a 10-day notice to quit 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 November, 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 extra hours at a market stall, 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 $2,850 goes:
• Rent arrears (3 months): $1,750
• Late fees and court costs: $155
• Utilities in arrears: $85
• First month of rent as a buffer: $860
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Any update on how things are going in Marseille?
So sorry you're going through this, Louise. Looking forward to the next update. Blessings.
You're not alone, Louise. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I went through something like this 10 years ago and strangers helped me out. Take care!
