When the construction firm closed in August, I fell 4 months behind on rent. Last Friday a termination letter was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $2,350.
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've 4 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 extra hours at a market stall, 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 $2,350 goes:
• Utilities in arrears: $240
• Rent arrears (4 months): $1,850
• Late fees and court costs: $260
Thanks for reading all this.

Best of luck, Everett. This could happen to any of us. Greetings from Mississauga.
Shared this with my family. After 8 years in public service I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
Wishing you the best, Everett. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier.
Sending good thoughts, Everett. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My neighbor in Narayanganj donated after I showed her your page. Love from Narayanganj.
Keep going, Everett. It takes guts to ask. Well done. After 17 years in accounting I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Greetings from Glendale.
