Keep a roof over Opas's head in Chiang Mai
A sudden layoff left Opas short on rent for 3 months; help us stay in our home.
🇹🇭 Chiang Mai, Chiang Mai, Thailand1,623 views
After a car accident that kept me from work for 5 weeks, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Sunday a 10-day notice to quit was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $950.
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 three school-aged 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 $950 goes:
• First month of rent as a buffer: $230
• Utilities in arrears: $75
• Rent arrears (3 months): $645
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

is there anything that isn't money that would help Opas?
Thinking of you and your family. It takes guts to ask. Well done. It's not much but it's yours. Blessings
Hope it all works out, Opas. Hope you get there. Thinking of Chiang Mai.
praying for you, Opas. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected!
Wishing you peace, Opas. This could happen to any of us. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Thinking of Chiang Mai
Sending good thoughts. Shared this with my family. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Love from Nha Trang
Wishing you peace. Hope you get there. I'll check back for the next update. Blessings
