Stop the eviction: 2 months of rent for Jihan's family in Jakarta Selatan
A sudden layoff left Jihan short on rent for 2 months; help us stay in our home.
🇮🇩 Indonesia1,990 views
When my hours were cut in half in July, Jihan fell 2 months behind on rent. Last Thursday a court summons for non-payment was taped to the door, and the amount owed is $750.
The landlord was understanding for a while, but has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by October, 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.
Jihan has started working night deliveries, and is 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 $750 goes:
• Rent arrears (2 months): $570
• Late fees and court costs: $45
• Utilities in arrears: $20
• First month of rent as a buffer: $115
With deep gratitude,

Sending love, Kartika. I hope things turn around soon.
Hope things get better soon, Kartika. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes
wishing you the best, Kartika. Gave what I could, wish it was more. All the best.
Wishing you peace, Kartika. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Love from Quezon City
Good luck, Kartika. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Take care
Sending good thoughts, Kartika. Looking forward to the next update. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it.
good luck. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. All the best
