Jae-won received an eviction notice - help us catch up on rent
After a car accident, Jae-won is 4 months behind on rent and has a court summons for non-payment from the landlord.

When the restaurant closed in August, I fell 4 months behind on rent. Last Saturday a court summons for non-payment was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $2,350.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by October, we must leave.
I have a teenager still in school 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.
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 $2,350 goes:
• Rent arrears (4 months): $1,450
• Late fees and court costs: $180
• Utilities in arrears: $175
• First month of rent as a buffer: $545
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

hang in there. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I have a 5 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Blessings.
Hang in there. This could happen to any of us. I'm in construction myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Thinking of Incheon.
Praying for you, Jae-won. Shared this with my family. All the best.
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Jae-won
Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. rent arrears (4 months) comes first ($1,450) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid.
Thinking of you. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. After 17 years in construction I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Thinking of Incheon.
Rooting for you. Shared this with my family. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Love from Taguig
You're not alone, Jae-won. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps.
Sending love. This could happen to any of us. Sent it to 7 people at work. Thinking of Incheon
stay strong, Jae-won. Shared this with my family. Put this on a community board in Southampton this morning. Thinking of Incheon
Good luck, Jae-won. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. All the best
Hope it all works out, Jae-won. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My neighbor in Pune donated after I showed her your page.
Good luck, Jae-won. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Greetings from Lagos
sending love, Jae-won. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. Please keep us posted.
