Keep a roof over Duy's head in Thủ Đức

A termination letter arrived last week. Duy needs $550 to clear the arrears and stay housed in Thủ Đức.

After a car accident that kept me from work for 4 weeks, Duy fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Tuesday a termination letter was taped to the door, and the amount owed is $550. The landlord was understanding for a while, but has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by November, the family must leave. There are 2 children at home. Moving would mean new schools, a new commute and no deposit to put down anywhere else. Duy has started working extra hours at a market stall, and is 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 $550 goes: • Rent arrears (3 months): $300 • Late fees and court costs: $60 • Utilities in arrears: $55 • First month of rent as a buffer: $135 I hope life is good to you.

Updates from Uyên

  1. We're at 75% thanks to 14 of you. the plan for first month of rent as a buffer is now scheduled. More news soon.

  2. Thank you all. We're at 38% now ($212). I'm honestly stunned. I made the first payment toward first month of rent as a buffer.

  3. Good news. Because of your gifts ($62 in total) I made the first payment toward first month of rent as a buffer. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

    Best of luck, Uyên. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. I hope November is when things finally get easier. Thinking of Thủ Đức.
