Help Sinta keep her home - 5 months behind on rent
A cut in working hours left Sinta short on rent for 5 months; help us stay in our home.

When the bakery closed in June, Sinta fell 5 months behind on rent. Last Tuesday a final eviction notice was taped to the door, and the amount owed is $550.
The landlord was understanding for a while, but has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by September, the family must leave.
There are a toddler and a baby at home. Moving would mean new schools, a new commute and no deposit to put down anywhere else.
Sinta has started working weekend shifts, 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 $550 goes:
• Rent arrears (5 months): $450
• Utilities in arrears: $45
• Late fees and court costs: $55
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Is there anything that isn't money that would help Sinta?
Sharing the link is the biggest thing. And if you know anything about rent arrears (5 months), advice is welcome too. Happy to explain more.
Hang in there. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Thinking of Jakarta Selatan.
Good luck, Erlangga. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps.
