Stop the eviction: 3 months of rent for Long's family in Hồ Chí Minh City
The loss of a second income left Long short on rent for 3 months; help us stay in our home.

Following a long illness in the family, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Wednesday a court summons for non-payment was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $500.
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 two young 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 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.
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 $500 goes:
• Rent arrears (3 months): $330
• First month of rent as a buffer: $125
• Late fees and court costs: $45
Every share and every dollar helps.

Keep going, Long. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Love from Los Angeles.
Hope it all works out. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Put this on a community board in Dallas this morning. Thinking of Hồ Chí Minh City.
You're not alone, Long. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. Love from Setagaya.
