Stop the eviction: 2 months of rent for Greyson's family in Vancouver

A divorce left Greyson short on rent for 2 months; help us stay in our home.

When my hours were cut in half in July, Greyson fell 2 months behind on rent. Last Wednesday a termination letter was taped to the door, and the amount owed is $4,150. The landlord was understanding for a while, but has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by October, the family must leave. There are 4 children at home. Moving would mean new schools, a new commute and no deposit to put down anywhere else. Greyson 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. The money will be paid directly to the landlord and I'll upload the receipt once it's done. Where the $4,150 goes: • Rent arrears (2 months): $2,950 • First month of rent as a buffer: $1,050 • Utilities in arrears: $150 Thank you for reading my story.

    Praying for you, Rylee. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money.
