Keep a roof over Brielle's head in Mississauga

After a sudden layoff at the textile factory, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Sunday a 10-day notice to quit was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $4,350.
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 a toddler and a baby 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.
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 $4,350 goes:
• Rent arrears (3 months): $3,200
• First month of rent as a buffer: $980
• Late fees and court costs: $170
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

This could happen to any of us. I'm in customer support myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Greetings from Port Harcourt
Good luck, Brielle. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. God bless.
You're not alone, Brielle. This could happen to any of us. Wish I lived closer to San Cristóbal de las Casas so I could bring a meal.
