Keep a roof over Rachel's head in Toronto
The closure of the factory left Rachel short on rent for 3 months; help us stay in our home.
🇨🇦 Toronto, Ontario, Canada1,850 views
When the hotel closed in December, 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 $1,100.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by March, 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 weekend shifts, 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 $1,100 goes:
• Late fees and court costs: $220
• First month of rent as a buffer: $660
• Utilities in arrears: $220
Glad we found this place.

Take care, Rachel. Hope you get there. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Thinking of Toronto.
so sorry you're going through this, Rachel. Hope this works out for you. I have a 13 year old who wants to send good wishes too. God bless.
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Greetings from Coimbatore.
