When my hours were cut in half in February, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Sunday a final eviction notice was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $750. My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by May, we must leave. I have three school-aged 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 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 $750 goes: • Rent arrears (3 months): $530 • Late fees and court costs: $45 • Utilities in arrears: $45 • First month of rent as a buffer: $130 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to. - Kathleen

    I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My husband and I read this together. Love from Nakhon Ratchasima.

      sending good thoughts, Kathleen. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We're a small family in Jakarta but we're thinking of you.

        Hang in there, Kathleen. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Greetings from Victoria.
