Stop the eviction: 2 months of rent for Abigail's family in Lethbridge
A cut in working hours left Abigail short on rent for 2 months; help us stay in our home.
🇨🇦 Canada1,501 views
When my hours were cut in half in August, Abigail fell 2 months behind on rent. Last Saturday a notice to vacate was taped to the door, and the amount owed is $3,500.
The landlord was understanding for a while, but has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by December, the family must leave.
There are two young children at home. Moving would mean new schools, a new commute and no deposit to put down anywhere else.
Abigail 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 $3,500 goes:
• Rent arrears (2 months): $2,400
• Utilities in arrears: $350
• First month of rent as a buffer: $750
With deep gratitude,
Kendall

You're not alone. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better
Rooting for you, Kendall. Your post was clear and honest.
can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Lethbridge.
Sharing the link is the biggest thing. And if you know anything about rent arrears (2 months), advice is welcome too. Happy to explain more.
Praying for you, Kendall. Hope this works out for you. After 14 years in social work I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Greetings from Fort Worth.
keep going. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Take care
Sending strength, Kendall. It takes guts to ask. Well done. God bless
Hope things get better soon, Kendall. Hope you get there. Wish I lived closer to Gdańsk so I could bring a meal. Take care
