So-yeon received an eviction notice - help us catch up on rent
A long illness left So-yeon short on rent for 3 months; help us stay in our home.

When the packaging plant closed in August, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Thursday a final eviction notice was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $2,050.
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 a toddler and a baby 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 weekend shifts, 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 $2,050 goes:
• Rent arrears (3 months): $1,400
• First month of rent as a buffer: $500
• Late fees and court costs: $150
I hope life is good to you.

Wishing you the best, So-yeon. Shared this with my family. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for So-yeon.
Rent arrears (3 months) is $1,400 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Thanks, that means a lot.
You're not alone, So-yeon. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Greetings from Tijuana
Rooting for you. Shared this with my family. I'll check back for the next update. Blessings
