Keep a roof over Peng's head in Toronto
A 10-day notice to quit arrived last week. Peng needs $4,150 to clear the arrears and stay housed in Toronto.

Following a long illness in the family, I fell 4 months behind on rent. Last Saturday a 10-day notice to quit was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $4,150.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by June, we must leave.
I have two young 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 evenings as a cleaner, 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 $4,150 goes:
• First month of rent as a buffer: $580
• Late fees and court costs: $320
• Rent arrears (4 months): $3,250
Glad we found this place.

Take care. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Greetings from Pietermaritzburg.
Sending love, Peng. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did
Keep going, Peng. Hope this works out for you. Put this on a community board in Rohini this morning. All the best
Wishing you the best, Peng. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. All the best
Good luck. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Greetings from Cologne
Keep going, Peng. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Don't give up.
Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. It's not much but it's yours. Thinking of Toronto
