\n\t\tA deadly pandemic takes over and millions of lives are lost. You moved to Toronto from Saskatchewan in 2008. It\u2019s a struggle to make ends meet, particularly now, and especially when your landlord will stop at nothing to get you out.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n\t\tWithout shelter, you would run the risk of homelessness. Another eviction ban is put in place by Premier Doug Ford because of the extraordinary circumstances, and this buys you a month. Your eviction hearing has been pushed back, not dismissed. You\u2019re getting warnings that sheriffs might show up at your door. The risk of losing your home persists.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n\t\tThis is the reality for 45-year-old Serena McCarroll, who lives in Toronto\u2019s Little Portugal.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n\t\t\u201cI was feeling very alone,\u201d McCarroll said in a phone interview.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
