Koji received an eviction notice - help us catch up on rent
After a sudden layoff, Koji is 4 months behind on rent and has a notice to vacate from the landlord.

Following a long illness in the family, I fell 4 months behind on rent. Last Wednesday a notice to vacate was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $2,350.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by January, 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.
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 $2,350 goes:
• Utilities in arrears: $220
• First month of rent as a buffer: $530
• Rent arrears (4 months): $1,600
Every share and every dollar helps.

Thanks for sharing this, Koji. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. All the best
Is there anything that isn't money that would help Koji?
A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. Put this on a community board in Ciudad de México this morning. Greetings from Ciudad de México.
Sending love, Koji. Your post was clear and honest. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money.
Thinking of you and your family, Koji. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. God bless
hope things get better soon, Koji. Your post was clear and honest. Greetings from Enugu.
You're not alone, Koji. Your post was clear and honest. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. God bless
