Keep a roof over Jin-woo's head in Mapo
After a car accident, Jin-woo is 3 months behind on rent and has a notice to vacate from the landlord.

Following a long illness in the family, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Wednesday a notice to vacate was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $2,200.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by September, 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 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 $2,200 goes:
• Utilities in arrears: $140
• First month of rent as a buffer: $740
• Rent arrears (3 months): $1,320
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Jin-woo.
Keep going, Jin-woo. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. I have a 12 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Blessings
Is there anything that isn't money that would help Jin-woo?

You're not alone, Jin-woo. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.
