Stop the eviction: 3 months of rent for Rahayu's family in Yogyakarta
A 10-day notice to quit arrived last week. Rahayu needs $650 to clear the arrears and stay housed in Yogyakarta.

When my hours were cut in half in May, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Friday a 10-day notice to quit was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $650.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by September, 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 two part-time jobs, 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 $650 goes:
• Rent arrears (3 months): $400
• Late fees and court costs: $65
• Utilities in arrears: $35
• First month of rent as a buffer: $150
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

Hope things get better soon, Rahayu. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Wish I lived closer to Bogotá so I could bring a meal.
Can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Yogyakarta.
Hope things get better soon, Rahayu. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Greetings from Ribeirão Preto.
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Rahayu
Hang in there, Rahayu. Hope this works out for you. Take care.
Wishing you the best, Rahayu. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. My brother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Take care
So sorry you're going through this, Rahayu. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My cousin had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. All the best.
