Owen received an eviction notice - help us catch up on rent

After a long illness, Owen is 3 months behind on rent and has a final eviction notice from the landlord.

When my hours were cut in half in March, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Wednesday a final eviction notice was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $2,650. 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 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 night deliveries, and I'm 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 $2,650 goes: • Rent arrears (3 months): $1,750 • Late fees and court costs: $230 • Utilities in arrears: $150 • First month of rent as a buffer: $520 Thank you so much.

Updates from Owen

  1. Thank you all. We're at 35% now ($933). I'm honestly stunned. the first invoice got paid this week.

  2. Small update. $533 so far, I made the first payment toward utilities in arrears.

  3. Wanted to say thank you properly. 9% funded and I met with the landlord and confirmed the amounts.

            everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I went through something like this 10 years ago and strangers helped me out. Take care
