Rahayu received an eviction notice - help us catch up on rent
The closure of the factory left Rahayu short on rent for 5 months; help us stay in our home.

When my hours were cut in half in July, I fell 5 months behind on rent. Last Wednesday a termination letter was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $450.
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've 4 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 $450 goes:
• Rent arrears (5 months): $210
• Late fees and court costs: $20
• Utilities in arrears: $55
• First month of rent as a buffer: $165
Every share and every dollar helps.

best of luck, Rahayu. Looking forward to the next update. God bless.
Hang in there, Rahayu. Hope you get there. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Blessings.
Sending good thoughts, Rahayu. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My mother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home
praying for you. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. My neighbor in Accra donated after I showed her your page. Take care
thinking of you, Rahayu. Shared this with my family. I'll check back for the next update.
Good luck, Rahayu. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My husband and I read this together. All the best
Best of luck, Rahayu. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Take care.
Best of luck. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. My cousin had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Take care
Sending love, Rahayu. Shared it with a few friends. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Greetings from San Diego.
I hope things turn around soon. Sent it to 24 people at work. Love from Athens
