Stop the eviction: 4 months of rent for Wahyu's family in Medan

A sudden layoff left Wahyu short on rent for 4 months; help us stay in our home.

After a car accident that kept me from work for 7 weeks, I fell 4 months behind on rent. Last Wednesday a final eviction notice was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $450. My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by October, we must leave. I have a toddler and a baby 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 evenings as a cleaner, 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 $450 goes: • First month of rent as a buffer: $135 • Rent arrears (4 months): $280 • Utilities in arrears: $35 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot. - Wahyu
