Following a long illness in the family, I fell 5 months behind on rent. Last Saturday a court summons for non-payment was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $650.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by September, 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.
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 $650 goes:
• Rent arrears (5 months): $510
• First month of rent as a buffer: $105
• Late fees and court costs: $35
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Updates from Bayu
Good news. Because of your gifts ($54 in total) the plan for first month of rent as a buffer is now scheduled. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
Quick update: $16 raised so far (2%). the plan for first month of rent as a buffer is now scheduled. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.
Wanted to say thank you properly. 2% funded and we've started the first stage.

So sorry you're going through this, Bayu. This could happen to any of us. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Blessings.
Rooting for you, Bayu. Your post was clear and honest
