A termination letter arrived last week. Mohammed needs $2,900 to clear the arrears and stay housed in Saint-Étienne.

After a car accident that kept me from work for 7 weeks, I fell 4 months behind on rent. Last Sunday a termination letter was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $2,900.
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 a teenager still in school 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 evenings as a cleaner, 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 $2,900 goes:
• Rent arrears (4 months): $2,000
• Late fees and court costs: $210
• Utilities in arrears: $145
• First month of rent as a buffer: $545
Thanks for reading all this.

Thinking of you and your family. Shared it with a few friends. Please keep us posted. Love from Cali.
Take care, Mohammed. Gave what I could, wish it was more. We're a small family in Kassel but we're thinking of you. Love from Kassel.
You're not alone, Mohammed. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Please keep us posted. Love from Bogotá
Thinking of you and your family, Mohammed. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Wish I lived closer to Bacolod so I could bring a meal. Take care.

Sending good thoughts, Mohammed. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.
Thinking of you, Mohammed. Hope this works out for you. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Thinking of Saint-Étienne.

Keep going, Mohammed. Hope you get there. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Greetings from Chicago.
Your post was clear and honest. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Love from Syracuse
