Misaki received an eviction notice - help us catch up on rent
A notice to vacate arrived last week. Misaki needs $2,550 to clear the arrears and stay housed in Tokyo.

After a sudden layoff at the call centre, Misaki fell 4 months behind on rent. Last Saturday a notice to vacate was taped to the door, and the amount owed is $2,550.
The landlord was understanding for a while, but has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by September, the family must leave.
There are a toddler and a baby at home. Moving would mean new schools, a new commute and no deposit to put down anywhere else.
Misaki has started working weekend shifts, and is 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:
• Utilities in arrears: $290
• Rent arrears (4 months): $2,000
• Late fees and court costs: $260

Wishing you the best, Tomoya. Shared it with a few friends
Thinking of you and your family, Tomoya. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. God bless.
Sending love. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Thinking of Tokyo.
