Crystal received an eviction notice - help us catch up on rent

A cut in working hours left Crystal short on rent for 3 months; help us stay in our home.

When my hours were cut in half in August, Crystal fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Saturday a final eviction notice was taped to the door, and the amount owed is $3,450. The landlord was understanding for a while, but has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by November, the family must leave. There are a toddler and a baby at home. Moving would mean new schools, a new commute and no deposit to put down anywhere else. Crystal has started working night deliveries, and is 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 $3,450 goes: • First month of rent as a buffer: $960 • Utilities in arrears: $350 • Rent arrears (3 months): $2,140 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.
