When my hours were cut in half in May, I fell 2 months behind on rent. Last Saturday a final eviction notice was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $2,850. My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by August, 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 evenings as a cleaner, 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 $2,850 goes: • Rent arrears (2 months): $1,850 • Late fees and court costs: $185 • Utilities in arrears: $185 • First month of rent as a buffer: $630 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support. - Jin-ah

          Rent arrears (2 months) is $1,850 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Appreciate you taking the time.

      • Keep going, Jin-ah. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Greetings from Dhaka.

        • Thanks for sharing this, Jin-ah. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. I'm in accounting myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you.

          • Praying for you. Shared this with my family. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Thinking of Gangnam.

            • Sending love, Jin-ah. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps

              • rooting for you. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double

                • Wishing you the best, Jin-ah. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. God bless.

                  • Rooting for you. Gave what I could, wish it was more. We're a small family in Kharkiv but we're thinking of you. God bless.

                    • best of luck, Jin-ah. Your post was clear and honest. Don't be hard on yourself for asking!

                      • thinking of you and your family. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too!
