Keep a roof over Chae-won's head in Mapo
A termination letter arrived last week. Chae-won needs $2,400 to clear the arrears and stay housed in Mapo.

When the construction firm closed in August, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Sunday a termination letter was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $2,400.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by December, 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 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 $2,400 goes:
• Rent arrears (3 months): $1,650
• Late fees and court costs: $140
• Utilities in arrears: $160
• First month of rent as a buffer: $450
Glad we found this place.

Is there anything that isn't money that would help Chae-won?
Best of luck, Chae-won. Hope this works out for you. Please keep us posted
Thinking of you. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I went through something like this 6 years ago and strangers helped me out. Take care
Hope you get there. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Greetings from Cambridge.
