Keep a roof over Josiah's head in Sherbrooke
A termination letter arrived last week. Josiah needs $3,850 to clear the arrears and stay housed in Sherbrooke.

Following a long illness in the family, Josiah fell 5 months behind on rent. Last Sunday a termination letter was taped to the door, and the amount owed is $3,850.
The landlord was understanding for a while, but has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by August, the family must leave.
There are a teenager still in school at home. Moving would mean new schools, a new commute and no deposit to put down anywhere else.
Josiah has started working weekend shifts, and is 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 $3,850 goes:
• Rent arrears (5 months): $2,800
• Late fees and court costs: $210
• Utilities in arrears: $290
• First month of rent as a buffer: $550
Thank you so much.

wishing you the best, Isaiah. Hope this works out for you.
So sorry you're going through this. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My neighbor had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
good luck. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Greetings from Madrid.
Sending good thoughts, Isaiah. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Greetings from Savar
Sending love, Isaiah. It takes guts to ask. Well done.
hang in there. Hope you get there. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. God bless.
