Gunawan received an eviction notice - help us catch up on rent

A termination letter arrived last week. Gunawan needs $750 to clear the arrears and stay housed in Depok.

When the packaging plant closed in August, I fell 5 months behind on rent. Last Sunday a termination letter was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $750. My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by November, we must leave. I have a toddler and a baby 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 $750 goes: • Utilities in arrears: $30 • First month of rent as a buffer: $120 • Rent arrears (5 months): $600 Thank you for reading my story. - Gunawan
