Stop the eviction: 4 months of rent for Myra's family in Brampton
A divorce left Myra short on rent for 4 months; help us stay in our home.
🇨🇦 Brampton, Ontario, Canada2,233 views
When the warehouse closed in July, I fell 4 months behind on rent. Last Wednesday a court summons for non-payment was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $2,100.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by October, 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 extra hours at a market stall, 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 $2,100 goes:
• Rent arrears (4 months): $1,350
• Utilities in arrears: $135
• First month of rent as a buffer: $615
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

your post was clear and honest. Thinking of Brampton.
so sorry you're going through this, Myra. Shared it with a few friends. Wish I lived closer to Badagry so I could bring a meal. Thinking of Brampton.
