Keep a roof over Maya's head in Semarang
A 10-day notice to quit arrived last week. Maya needs $500 to clear the arrears and stay housed in Semarang.

When my hours were cut in half in July, I fell 2 months behind on rent. Last Tuesday a 10-day notice to quit was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $500.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by November, 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 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.
The money will be paid directly to the landlord and I'll upload the receipt once it's done.
Where the $500 goes:
• Rent arrears (2 months): $340
• Late fees and court costs: $55
• First month of rent as a buffer: $105
Thanks for reading all this.

stay strong, Maya. Hope you get there.
Thanks for sharing this, Maya. Shared this with my family. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. God bless.
A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend
