Keep a roof over Soo-jin's head in Gangnam

A final eviction notice arrived last week. Soo-jin needs $2,550 to clear the arrears and stay housed in Gangnam.

Gangnam
After a car accident that kept me from work for 6 weeks, I fell 2 months behind on rent. Last Monday a final eviction notice was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $2,550. My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by October, 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 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 $2,550 goes: • Rent arrears (2 months): $1,700 • Late fees and court costs: $125 • Utilities in arrears: $70 • First month of rent as a buffer: $655 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Updates from Soo-jin

  1. Update from Gangnam: I made the first payment toward rent arrears. We're at 7% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

  2. Small update. $120 so far, the plan for late fees and court costs is now scheduled.

  3. Wanted to say thank you properly. 2% funded and I made the first payment toward late fees and court costs.
