Keep a roof over Ishita's head in Ottawa

When the bakery closed in August, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Friday a 10-day notice to quit was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $2,300.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by November, 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 two part-time jobs, 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 $2,300 goes:
• Rent arrears (3 months): $1,550
• Late fees and court costs: $120
• First month of rent as a buffer: $630
Glad we found this place.

Thinking of you and your family, Ishita. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. All the best
wishing you peace, Ishita. Shared this with my family.
Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Wish I lived closer to Karachi so I could bring a meal. God bless.
Good luck, Ishita. Your post was clear and honest. Greetings from Surat.
Wishing you peace. Hope this works out for you. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Blessings.
