Keep a roof over Do-hyun's head in Mapo
A termination letter arrived last week. Do-hyun needs $2,250 to clear the arrears and stay housed in Mapo.

Following a long illness in the family, I fell 5 months behind on rent. Last Tuesday a termination letter was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $2,250.
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 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 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 $2,250 goes:
• Rent arrears (5 months): $1,750
• First month of rent as a buffer: $330
• Utilities in arrears: $170
Every share and every dollar helps.

Shared this with my family. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Greetings from Austin!
Hang in there. Hope you get there. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected
You're not alone, Do-hyun. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier.
Thinking of you and your family, Do-hyun. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Thinking of Mapo.
Sending good thoughts, Do-hyun. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Love from Allentown.
