Keep a roof over Giang's head in Cần Thơ

When my hours were cut in half in July, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Tuesday a notice to vacate was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $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 two part-time jobs, 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 $250 goes:
• Late fees and court costs: $50
• Utilities in arrears: $30
• First month of rent as a buffer: $170
Thank you so much.

Rooting for you. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My neighbor in Rennes donated after I showed her your page. Love from Rennes.
Stay strong. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. My father had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
Good luck, Giang. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Thinking of Cần Thơ
Thinking of you and your family, Giang. This could happen to any of us

Thinking of you, Giang. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. After 14 years in public service I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Blessings
