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

When my hours were cut in half in August, I fell 4 months behind on rent. Last Monday 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 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.
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 $500 goes:
• First month of rent as a buffer: $110
• Rent arrears (4 months): $330
• Late fees and court costs: $60
Thanks for reading all this.

Keep going, Yusuf. It takes guts to ask. Well done.
Take care, Yusuf. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Love from Lahore!
