Gwangju

When my hours were cut in half in March, I fell 5 months behind on rent. Last Tuesday a final eviction notice was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $2,450. 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 two young 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 extra hours at a market stall, 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 $2,450 goes: • Rent arrears (5 months): $1,600 • First month of rent as a buffer: $690 • Utilities in arrears: $160 With deep gratitude, Hye-won

9% there. I made the first payment toward utilities in arrears. Thank you.
Small update. $178 so far, I met with the landlord and confirmed the amounts.
