Stop the eviction: 2 months of rent for Willow's family in Red Deer
After the closure of the factory, Willow is 2 months behind on rent and has a termination letter from the landlord.

When the hotel closed in March, I fell 2 months behind on rent. Last Sunday a termination letter was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $3,700.
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 three school-aged 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.
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 $3,700 goes:
• Rent arrears (2 months): $2,550
• Late fees and court costs: $210
• Utilities in arrears: $260
• First month of rent as a buffer: $680
Thank you so much.

Updates from Willow
Thank you all. We're at 47% now ($1,729). I'm honestly stunned. I made the first payment toward late fees and court costs.
