I don't know why you have to put yourself through more stress? Call Red Cross for emergency help canada has donated 88 million for the evacuees in Fort Mack? I may be wrong but isn't that what it's for to help people to start over again

Call St.Vincent du paul. They will do a home visit and you can write a list of things you need. They will bring what they can. Furniture, beds, household, all free and delivered. They helped my daughter furnish her home

There are also people giving things away. Try also Habitat for Humanity Restore. Brick Clearance Center. And there are a couple outfits that allow you to rent furniture month to month. I cannot for the life of me remember the names at the moment though.

This is a group where people offer items for free they no longer need. Post what you are looking for and I suspect you will get many offers. Might even deliver if you ask or if you have no vehicle. Never hurts to ask!https://m.facebook.com/groups/1480520382172120?tsid=0.8736102238763124&source=typeahead
There are SO many people, like myself, who are scrolling and scrolling through multiple Facebook groups over WANTED/ISO/IN SEARCH OF posts by evacuees, just itching to donate items we have in abundance. If you make a wanted ad with a list of things you need, I guarantee you will have responses with people offering you items FOR FREE and may even deliver them to you. It keeps you from spending your dollars, donation centers from being overwhelmed with items it can't process or match with evacuees in need and the landfill from being filled with completely usable items.

Betty Crocker items at dollarama are pretty good quality for the price, and ikea is great for kitchen stuff.

The Habitat for Humanity locations have stores with furniture you can sometimes find their ads on www.kijiji.ca but kijiji is also a good spot to find good deals there is an entire section of 'free stuff' you may want to look at there.
