Following a long illness in the family, I fell 4 months behind on rent. Last Friday a notice to vacate was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $500.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by October, we must leave.
I've 2 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.
Funds go to the landlord and nowhere else. Any amount left over after the arrears are cleared will go toward next month's rent.
Where the $500 goes:
• Rent arrears (4 months): $430
• Utilities in arrears: $30
• Late fees and court costs: $40
Every share and every dollar helps.

Updates from Eka
Thank you all. We're at 69% now ($343). I'm honestly stunned. I made the first payment toward late fees and court costs.
Quick update: $205 raised so far (41%). the plan for utilities in arrears is now scheduled. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.
Update from Jakarta: the first invoice got paid this week. We're at 69% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

Thanks for sharing this. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I went through something like this 5 years ago and strangers helped me out.
Rooting for you, Eka. Shared this with my family. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. God bless
Wishing you the best, Eka. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day.

good luck, Eka. I hope things turn around soon. After 14 years in teaching I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Love from Kano.
