Keep a roof over Anthony's head in Ottawa
A divorce left Anthony short on rent for 2 months; help us stay in our home.
🇨🇦 Ottawa, Ontario, Canada2,783 views
When the construction firm closed in June, I fell 2 months behind on rent. Last Sunday a termination letter was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $3,100.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by September, 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 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 $3,100 goes:
• First month of rent as a buffer: $890
• Rent arrears (2 months): $2,100
• Utilities in arrears: $110
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

I hope things turn around soon. I'm in teaching myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you.
Wishing you peace, Anthony. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Greetings from Gondar.
Thinking of you. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money
wishing you peace. I hope things turn around soon. Please keep us posted. All the best
Thanks for sharing this, Anthony. Hope this works out for you. Blessings.
Stay strong. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust!
I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Take care
