Stop the eviction: 4 months of rent for Hye-won's family in Daegu
A notice to vacate arrived last week. Hye-won needs $1,800 to clear the arrears and stay housed in Daegu.

After a car accident that kept me from work for 4 weeks, I fell 4 months behind on rent. Last Monday a notice to vacate was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $1,800.
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 extra hours at a market stall, 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 $1,800 goes:
• Late fees and court costs: $130
• First month of rent as a buffer: $490
• Rent arrears (4 months): $1,180
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Updates from Hye-won
Good news. Because of your gifts ($30 in total) I made the first payment toward rent arrears. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Thinking of Daegu.
How is Hye-won doing now?
