Stop the eviction: 4 months of rent for Huy's family in Hanoi
After a divorce, Huy is 4 months behind on rent and has a 10-day notice to quit from the landlord.

When my hours were cut in half in April, Huy fell 4 months behind on rent. Last Wednesday a 10-day notice to quit was taped to the door, and the amount owed is $450.
The landlord was understanding for a while, but has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by August, the family must leave.
There are a toddler and a baby at home. Moving would mean new schools, a new commute and no deposit to put down anywhere else.
Huy has started working two part-time jobs, 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 $450 goes:
• Rent arrears (4 months): $350
• Utilities in arrears: $35
• Late fees and court costs: $65
Thank you so much.

is there anything that isn't money that would help Huy?
Hope things get better soon, Loan. Gave what I could, wish it was more. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust.
Hope things get better soon, Loan. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Don't be hard on yourself for asking.
Sending love, Loan. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Wish I lived closer to Newport so I could bring a meal. Thinking of Hanoi.
Thinking of you and your family, Loan. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Love from Kediri.
So sorry you're going through this, Loan. Your post was clear and honest. Put this on a community board in Dhaka this morning!
I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Wish I lived closer to Dodoma so I could bring a meal.
Thanks for sharing this, Loan. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected

Praying for you, Loan. This could happen to any of us. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.
Wishing you peace, Loan. Hope this works out for you. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected
a secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money.
Hope it all works out, Loan. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Greetings from Denpasar.
