Stop the eviction: 3 months of rent for Ximena's family in Toronto
A 10-day notice to quit arrived last week. Ximena needs $3,050 to clear the arrears and stay housed in Toronto.

When my hours were cut in half in July, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Friday a 10-day notice to quit was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $3,050.
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 have a teenager still in school 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 $3,050 goes:
• Rent arrears (3 months): $2,600
• Utilities in arrears: $270
• Late fees and court costs: $180
Thank you for reading my story.

Hang in there, Ximena. I hope things turn around soon. Sent it to 30 people at work
Stay strong, Ximena. Looking forward to the next update. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money.
keep going. Hope you get there. Love from Columbus.
Hang in there. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Thinking of Toronto
