Help Lawrence keep his home - 2 months behind on rent
The closure of the factory left Lawrence short on rent for 2 months; help us stay in our home.

When the packaging plant closed in April, Lawrence fell 2 months behind on rent. Last Wednesday a final eviction notice was taped to the door, and the amount owed is $2,400.
The landlord was understanding for a while, but has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by June, the family must leave.
There are two young children at home. Moving would mean new schools, a new commute and no deposit to put down anywhere else.
Lawrence has started working two part-time jobs, 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 $2,400 goes:
• Late fees and court costs: $120
• Utilities in arrears: $270
• Rent arrears (2 months): $2,010
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Keep going. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We're a small family in George but we're thinking of you. Thinking of Brampton.
Hope it all works out, Terry. Shared this with my family.
Thinking of you and your family. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My neighbor in Cali donated after I showed her your page. All the best.
