Stop the eviction: 2 months of rent for Đức's family in Da Nang

A sudden layoff left Đức short on rent for 2 months; help us stay in our home.

Da Nang
When my hours were cut in half in September, I fell 2 months behind on rent. Last Friday a termination letter was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $650. My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by November, 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 night deliveries, and I'm 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 $650 goes: • Rent arrears (2 months): $510 • Late fees and court costs: $35 • Utilities in arrears: $15 • First month of rent as a buffer: $90 With deep gratitude, Đức

      wishing you the best, Đức. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Thinking of Da Nang

        Keep going, Đức. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Wish I lived closer to San Jose so I could bring a meal. Love from Udaipur.

                I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Sent it to 26 people at work.
