Stop the eviction: 2 months of rent for Sinta's family in Surakarta
A divorce left Sinta short on rent for 2 months; help us stay in our home.

When the hotel closed in August, I fell 2 months behind on rent. Last Monday a termination letter was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $300.
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 have three school-aged 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 $300 goes:
• Rent arrears (2 months): $250
• Utilities in arrears: $40
• Late fees and court costs: $10
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.
