Stop the eviction: 3 months of rent for Mongkol's family in Khon Kaen
A notice to vacate arrived last week. Mongkol needs $850 to clear the arrears and stay housed in Khon Kaen.

After a car accident that kept me from work for 12 weeks, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Tuesday a notice to vacate was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $850.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by January, we must leave.
I have three school-aged 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 $850 goes:
• Rent arrears (3 months): $560
• Late fees and court costs: $50
• Utilities in arrears: $65
• First month of rent as a buffer: $175
Thank you so much.

hope things get better soon, Mongkol. Hope you get there
Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Thinking of Khon Kaen.
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Mongkol
It's all in the list in the story. rent arrears (3 months) is the big one at $560, I'll post a receipt when it's paid. Thanks for asking.
Thinking of you and your family, Mongkol. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. Thinking of Khon Kaen.
Rooting for you, Mongkol. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Take care
Hope it all works out, Mongkol. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. I hope January is when things finally get easier. Blessings.
Sending good thoughts. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. Wish I lived closer to Ubud so I could bring a meal. Take care
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Love from Rawalpindi.
