When my hours were cut in half in June, Ha-joon fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Saturday a court summons for non-payment was taped to the door, and the amount owed is $1,650. The landlord was understanding for a while, but has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by August, the family must leave. There are a teenager still in school at home. Moving would mean new schools, a new commute and no deposit to put down anywhere else. Ha-joon has started working two part-time jobs, and is 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 $1,650 goes: • Late fees and court costs: $220 • Rent arrears (3 months): $1,300 • Utilities in arrears: $130 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure. - Seo-jun

Updates from Seo-jun

  1. Thank you all. We're at 5% now ($80). I'm honestly stunned. the first invoice got paid this week.

  2. Good news. Because of your gifts ($75 in total) I met with the landlord and confirmed the amounts. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

  3. Quick update: $30 raised so far (2%). we've started the first stage. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.
