Keep a roof over Jade's head in Québec

A termination letter arrived last week. Jade needs $5,200 to clear the arrears and stay housed in Québec.

After a sudden layoff at the warehouse, I fell 4 months behind on rent. Last Friday a termination letter was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $5,200. 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 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 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. The money will be paid directly to the landlord and I'll upload the receipt once it's done. Where the $5,200 goes: • Rent arrears (4 months): $3,700 • Late fees and court costs: $290 • Utilities in arrears: $165 • First month of rent as a buffer: $1,045 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure. - Jade

      I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Put this on a community board in Puebla this morning!

        your post was clear and honest. After 22 years in nursing I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Love from Paris.

          a secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. I'm in engineering myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. God bless

              Thinking of you and your family. Shared this with my family. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Love from Dar es Salaam
