Majid received an eviction notice - help us catch up on rent
A long illness left Majid short on rent for 4 months; help us stay in our home.

Following a long illness in the family, I fell 4 months behind on rent. Last Saturday a notice to vacate was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $800.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by December, 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 night deliveries, 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 $800 goes:
• First month of rent as a buffer: $450
• Late fees and court costs: $195
• Utilities in arrears: $155
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Sent it to 23 people at work.
You're not alone, Majid. Shared it with a few friends. Put this on a community board in Jakarta this morning. God bless
Sending strength, Majid. I hope things turn around soon. God bless.
So sorry you're going through this. Hope you get there. Love from Anaheim
Thinking of you and your family. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. Wish I lived closer to Coimbatore so I could bring a meal.
