Stop the eviction: 3 months of rent for Kiên's family in Cần Thơ

A court summons for non-payment arrived last week. Kiên needs $600 to clear the arrears and stay housed in Cần Thơ.

Cần Thơ
When my hours were cut in half in August, Kiên fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Sunday a court summons for non-payment was taped to the door, and the amount owed is $600. 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 teenager still in school at home. Moving would mean new schools, a new commute and no deposit to put down anywhere else. Kiên has started working extra hours at a market stall, 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 $600 goes: • Rent arrears (3 months): $450 • Late fees and court costs: $15 • Utilities in arrears: $20 • First month of rent as a buffer: $115 I hope life is good to you.

    shared it with a few friends. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. God bless.

        sending good thoughts, Lan. Hope you get there. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Thinking of Cần Thơ.

        • James L. Barker

          So sorry you're going through this. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.

          • Tiffany C. CarterQuestion

            Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Kiên

            • Lan Quỳnh DaoOwnerAnswerID verifiedVerified organizationPhoto verified

              Sure. The biggest one is rent arrears (3 months), $450. The rest is in the list at the bottom of the post and I'll upload receipts as I pay each one. Good question.

          • Ali Muhammad Orakzai

            best of luck, Lan. Looking forward to the next update. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Take care.

            • Atieno Beatrice Nabwire

              Thinking of you, Lan. This could happen to any of us. I hope October is when things finally get easier. Thinking of Cần Thơ.

                so sorry you're going through this, Lan. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. We're a small family in Sakai but we're thinking of you
