Help Rahayu keep her home - 3 months behind on rent
A long illness left Rahayu short on rent for 3 months; help us stay in our home.

When my hours were cut in half in March, Rahayu fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Tuesday a court summons for non-payment was taped to the door, and the amount owed is $600.
The landlord was understanding for a while, but has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by May, the family must leave.
There are two young children at home. Moving would mean new schools, a new commute and no deposit to put down anywhere else.
Rahayu has started working night deliveries, and is 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 $600 goes:
• Late fees and court costs: $30
• First month of rent as a buffer: $95
• Rent arrears (3 months): $475
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

Thinking of you and your family, Bambang. I hope things turn around soon. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Greetings from Accra.
Best of luck, Bambang. I hope things turn around soon. Put this on a community board in Los Angeles this morning. Love from Los Angeles
stay strong, Bambang. Hope this works out for you. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Greetings from Indore.
Wishing you peace. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Wish I lived closer to Wudil so I could bring a meal. Love from London
Keep going. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money.
Thanks for sharing this. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I'm in teaching myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you
Praying for you, Bambang. This could happen to any of us. Love from Worcester.
