Stop the eviction: 3 months of rent for Hae-won's family in Seongnam
After a delayed insurance payout, Hae-won is 3 months behind on rent and has a 10-day notice to quit from the landlord.

After a sudden layoff at the restaurant, Hae-won fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Wednesday a 10-day notice to quit was taped to the door, and the amount owed is $2,250.
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 two young children at home. Moving would mean new schools, a new commute and no deposit to put down anywhere else.
Hae-won 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 $2,250 goes:
• Rent arrears (3 months): $1,350
• Late fees and court costs: $220
• Utilities in arrears: $250
• First month of rent as a buffer: $430
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Sending love. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. I went through something like this 13 years ago and strangers helped me out.
keep going, Seung-woo. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Blessings
thinking of you. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. We're a small family in Lahore but we're thinking of you. Blessings
hope it all works out, Seung-woo. Your post was clear and honest. Don't give up. Blessings
