A 10-day notice to quit arrived last week. Min-seo needs $2,750 to clear the arrears and stay housed in Gangnam.

Following a long illness in the family, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Wednesday a 10-day notice to quit was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $2,750.
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 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 weekend shifts, 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 $2,750 goes:
• Rent arrears (3 months): $2,200
• First month of rent as a buffer: $370
• Utilities in arrears: $180

how is Min-seo doing now?
Keep going. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Thinking of Gangnam
Take care, Min-seo. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry
is there anything that isn't money that would help Min-seo?
Sending love, Min-seo. Looking forward to the next update. Thinking of Gangnam.
Thinking of you and your family, Min-seo. Hope this works out for you. I'm in engineering myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Love from New Delhi.
I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. I have a 6 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Take care.
Good luck, Min-seo. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together!
