After a divorce, Jung-ho is 4 months behind on rent and has a court summons for non-payment from the landlord.

When my hours were cut in half in August, I fell 4 months behind on rent. Last Friday a court summons for non-payment was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $1,900.
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 two young children 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 two part-time jobs, 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 $1,900 goes:
• Rent arrears (4 months): $1,050
• Late fees and court costs: $220
• Utilities in arrears: $200
• First month of rent as a buffer: $430
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

Wishing you the best. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money.
Wishing you the best, Jung-ho. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I'm in logistics myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you
Hang in there. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Greetings from San Diego
Keep going, Jung-ho. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Blessings!
Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Thinking of Seoul.
