Stop the eviction: 3 months of rent for Samantha's family in Québec

After a sudden layoff at the packaging plant, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Wednesday a termination letter was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $2,900. My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by September, we must leave. I've 2 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 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. The money will be paid directly to the landlord and I'll upload the receipt once it's done. Where the $2,900 goes: • First month of rent as a buffer: $770 • Utilities in arrears: $145 • Rent arrears (3 months): $1,985 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.
