A final eviction notice arrived last week. Adeline needs $1,300 to clear the arrears and stay housed in Vancouver.

After a sudden layoff at the packaging plant, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Thursday a final eviction notice was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $1,300. My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by May, 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 evenings as a cleaner, and I'm 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 $1,300 goes: • Utilities in arrears: $180 • Late fees and court costs: $360 • First month of rent as a buffer: $760 Thanks for reading all this.

    Thinking of you and your family. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Thinking of Vancouver.

      Keep going, Adeline. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. We're a small family in Ikeja but we're thinking of you. Blessings

            Shared it with a few friends. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Blessings

              A colleague of mine might know someone for this in Washington. I'll ask around and let you know!

                  I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Thinking of Vancouver

                    Thinking of you and your family, Adeline. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. After 22 years in hospitality I know how hard it's to ask for anything. God bless.
