Jacob received an eviction notice - help us catch up on rent
A delayed insurance payout left Jacob short on rent for 3 months; help us stay in our home.

After a car accident that kept me from work for 4 weeks, 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 $4,000.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by October, we must leave.
I have three school-aged 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 weekend shifts, 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 $4,000 goes:
• Rent arrears (3 months): $3,050
• Late fees and court costs: $330
• Utilities in arrears: $100
• First month of rent as a buffer: $520
Thank you for reading my story.

can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Miami!
Thank you. If you're in Miami I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Thanks for looking so closely.
Thanks for sharing this, Jacob. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. God bless
Sending strength, Jacob. Hope this works out for you. Love from Toronto
