A final eviction notice arrived last week. Iwan needs $550 to clear the arrears and stay housed in Surabaya.

When the bakery closed in August, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Friday a final eviction notice was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $550. My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by December, 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 extra hours at a market stall, and I'm 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 $550 goes: • Utilities in arrears: $20 • First month of rent as a buffer: $185 • Rent arrears (3 months): $345 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.
