Keep a roof over Bình's head in Hồ Chí Minh City
A delayed insurance payout left Bình short on rent for 5 months; help us stay in our home.

After a car accident that kept me from work for 12 weeks, I fell 5 months behind on rent. Last Friday a termination letter was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $400.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by March, 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 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 $400 goes:
• Rent arrears (5 months): $250
• Late fees and court costs: $25
• Utilities in arrears: $25
• First month of rent as a buffer: $100
With deep gratitude,
Bình

Updates from Bình
Good news. Because of your gifts ($154 in total) I met with the landlord and confirmed the amounts. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
Quick update: $55 raised so far (14%). I made the first payment toward utilities in arrears. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.
Thank you all. We're at 10% now ($40). I'm honestly stunned. we've started the first stage.
