Stop the eviction: 2 months of rent for Stella's family in Red Deer
A sudden layoff left Stella short on rent for 2 months; help us stay in our home.

When my hours were cut in half in September, I fell 2 months behind on rent. Last Monday a termination letter was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $3,450.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by November, 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 $3,450 goes:
• Rent arrears (2 months): $2,200
• Late fees and court costs: $220
• Utilities in arrears: $165
• First month of rent as a buffer: $865
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

is there anything that isn't money that would help Stella?
Thank you. If you're in Red Deer I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Thanks for looking so closely.
hope it all works out, Stella. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I'm in customer support myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you.
Take care. Hope this works out for you. Love from Nagpur
Praying for you, Stella. Hope you get there.
Hang in there, Stella. Looking forward to the next update. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Greetings from Hyderabad
Take care, Stella. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. After 12 years in nursing I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
Keep going, Stella. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did.
