However, after sharing her story some cruel trolls expressed little sympathy for the mum, who was facing uprooting her entire life.
She claimed she received the two months notice because of an argument with her "idiot" landlord.
"The landlord didn't fix some sockets in our kitchen in reported in March, he turned up in June and wondered why I was angry," she explained in the viral clip.
According to Citizen's Advice, after formally notifying your landlord of issues they should respond in a reasonable timeframe, so it's no wonder the mum wasn't happy with how slow things were moving.
Not only that, the mum said she's been living in the home with her son for seven years, so she'd well and truly settled in.
"I've just got the boy into a school right by this house and now he's given me two months to move," she added.
According to the mum, during her seven years in the home she'd never been late with rent and had in fact always paid three days early.
But none of that mattered to the harsh landlord, who decided to chuck the mum and her son out.
Things went from bad to worse for the mum because she admitted she wouldn't be able to gather enough money for a deposit for another rented house in the timeframe given, leaving her in limbo.
Luckily, many people offered support in the comment section, with one urging the mum to take the landlord to court.
"Don't leave before the bailiffs come," one person commented.
"This is a revenge eviction and unlawful," a second said.
"That's no good reason, truly. Go to Citizens Advice," someone else suggested.
Meanwhile, other renters said they found themselves in similar situations with their own dodgy landlords.
"Ours hiked our rent over 40% because we pushed for repairs to damp and mould," one said.
"We went through the same last year and had been in the house eight years," another revealed.
But others weren't so kind to the struggling mum, as some said she had no reason to complain, since the house isn't technically hers.
"There's two sides to every story," one person slammed.
"I would like to know why you renters think it's ok for your landlord to be out of pocket," a second wrote.
"It's not your house, to be fair," another chimed in.
