Stop the eviction: 3 months of rent for Travis's family in Toronto
The loss of a second income left Travis short on rent for 3 months; help us stay in our home.

Following a long illness in the family, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Thursday a termination letter was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $1,600.
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 two young 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 two part-time jobs, 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 $1,600 goes:
• Utilities in arrears: $125
• First month of rent as a buffer: $1,150
• Late fees and court costs: $325
Thanks for being kind about this.

It takes guts to ask. Well done. Love from Heliopolis.
Best of luck, Travis. It takes guts to ask. Well done. We're a small family in Busan but we're thinking of you. Greetings from Busan
good luck. Looking forward to the next update. After 30 years in retail I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
Hope it all works out, Travis. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like.
thinking of you, Travis. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon
Wishing you the best, Travis. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. Don't be hard on yourself for asking
Hang in there. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We're a small family in Nijmegen but we're thinking of you. Greetings from Nijmegen.
