My name is Tyler Knight. I am 55, and once again facing homelessness. I have cancer, of course other issues too-though I'm not dying from cancer. Its' been rough. I'm not special. I actually feel some shame reaching out like this.

I have a residence, but due to unforeseen circumstances...my room mate has bailed on me leaving me with" expensive" rent to pay, no thanks to Doug Ford, and her-yes-I'm blaming.

I managed to afford Decembers' rent by borrowing the money, and now, in approximately two weeks time-I will be once again left to my own devices in paying for the New Year.

-$1600.00 plus. As I'm able to pay for a portion of this, I am not able for the remainder.

As stated I feel some shame in doing so, but prompted by others-I turn to this option-GoFundMe, I've gone through two winters outside, and in coping with the last few years-I will not, and cannot bear it again.

I will die.

I reside in downtown London, Ontario. I'm sure all of you are aware of the ridiculous and exorbitant rent increases and financial stress of this day and age. I look at several other examples on here of individuals, and those whose situations are just as, if not more dire than my circumstances are.

I plead, and I ask for whatever assistance is at all possible.

Thanks to all, even for reading this, and Happy Holidays to the upcoming seasonal festivities. God Bless. x.
