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

A notice to vacate arrived last week. Jasmine needs $1,250 to clear the arrears and stay housed in Spanish Town.

Spanish Town
When the restaurant closed in August, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Saturday a notice to vacate was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $1,250. My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by December, 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 night deliveries, 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 $1,250 goes: • Rent arrears (3 months): $1,050 • Utilities in arrears: $75 • Late fees and court costs: $125 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

                So sorry you're going through this, Jasmine. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I have a 14 year old who wants to send good wishes too. God bless.

                  Stay strong, Jasmine. This could happen to any of us. My mother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. God bless.
