Chae-won received an eviction notice - help us catch up on rent
A court summons for non-payment arrived last week. Chae-won needs $2,000 to clear the arrears and stay housed in Daegu.

When my hours were cut in half in March, I fell 4 months behind on rent. Last Monday a court summons for non-payment was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $2,000.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by June, we must leave.
I have two young children 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 $2,000 goes:
• Rent arrears (4 months): $1,200
• First month of rent as a buffer: $570
• Late fees and court costs: $230
If you're reading this, thank you.

hope things get better soon, Chae-won. Hope you get there. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.
keep going. Hope this works out for you. I hope June is when things finally get easier.
rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Love from Bangkok.
is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Chae-won!
The list at the bottom is the whole picture. rent arrears (4 months) is the biggest at $1,200. Ask me anything else.
Hang in there, Chae-won. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We're a small family in Ankara but we're thinking of you
thanks for sharing this, Chae-won. Shared this with my family. I have a 13 year old who wants to send good wishes too.
So sorry you're going through this. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. My neighbor in Bengaluru donated after I showed her your page. Blessings.
I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Blessings.
Looking forward to the next update. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Love from Bogotá.
