Tomoya received an eviction notice - help us catch up on rent
A car accident left Tomoya short on rent for 3 months; help us stay in our home.

When my hours were cut in half in June, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Friday a notice to vacate was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $1,950.
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 a toddler and a baby 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 weekend shifts, 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 $1,950 goes:
• Rent arrears (3 months): $1,300
• Late fees and court costs: $165
• Utilities in arrears: $70
• First month of rent as a buffer: $415
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Updates from Tomoya
Good news. Because of your gifts ($27 in total) we've started the first stage. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
Small update. $7 so far, the plan for late fees and court costs is now scheduled.

Keep going, Tomoya. Shared it with a few friends. Love from Gatineau.
Hope things get better soon, Tomoya. Your post was clear and honest. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too!
Hope it all works out, Tomoya. Looking forward to the next update. My neighbor in Vadodara donated after I showed her your page.
