Keep a roof over Hathai's head in Bangkok

A court summons for non-payment arrived last week. Hathai needs $1,050 to clear the arrears and stay housed in Bangkok.

After a sudden layoff at the restaurant, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Thursday a court summons for non-payment was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $1,050. My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by May, 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 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. The money will be paid directly to the landlord and I'll upload the receipt once it's done. Where the $1,050 goes: • Late fees and court costs: $45 • Rent arrears (3 months): $710 • First month of rent as a buffer: $295 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Updates from Hathai

  1. Update from Bangkok: the first invoice got paid this week. We're at 24% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

  2. Good news. Because of your gifts ($194 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.

  3. Update from Bangkok: I made the first payment toward rent arrears. We're at 12% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.
