So sorry you're going through this, Janet. Looking forward to the next update. It's not much but it's yours.
How is Janet doing now?
Hope it all works out, Janet. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Don't give up. Take care.
Take care, Janet. Hope you get there.
Can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Toronto.
Thank you. If you're in Toronto I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Ask me anything else.
Keep going. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Love from Athens.
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Janet.
Sure. The biggest one is rent arrears (2 months), $1,350. The rest is in the list at the bottom of the post and I'll upload receipts as I pay each one. It helps to be asked.
Wishing you peace, Janet. Gave what I could, wish it was more. After 9 years in accounting I know how hard it is to ask for anything. God bless.
You're not alone. It takes guts to ask. Well done. All the best
So sorry you're going through this. This could happen to any of us. My neighbor had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Wish I lived closer to Edmonton so I could bring a meal. Love from Busan.
Sending good thoughts, Janet. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together
Good luck, Janet. Shared this with my family. Don't give up.
You're not alone, Janet. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. Take care
Thinking of you, Janet. I hope things turn around soon. Blessings.
Sending good thoughts. Hope you get there. All the best
Sending love. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust.
Sending good thoughts, Janet. Looking forward to the next update. Take care.
everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Take care.
take care. This could happen to any of us. Put this on a community board in Barcelona this morning. God bless.
