Stop the eviction: 4 months of rent for Winda's family in Jakarta
A sudden layoff left Winda short on rent for 4 months; help us stay in our home.
🇮🇩 Jakarta, DKI Jakarta, Indonesia1,269 views
When the call centre closed in August, I fell 4 months behind on rent. Last Tuesday a court summons for non-payment 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 November, 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 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.
The money will be paid directly to the landlord and I'll upload the receipt once it's done.
Where the $650 goes:
• Rent arrears (4 months): $450
• Late fees and court costs: $25
• Utilities in arrears: $20
• First month of rent as a buffer: $155
Every share and every dollar helps.

Keep going, Winda. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Wish I lived closer to Brasília so I could bring a meal.
sending good thoughts, Winda. I hope things turn around soon. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend
good luck. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Don't give up. Thinking of Jakarta
I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. I have a 13 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Love from Alcalá de Henares.
Rooting for you, Winda. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Take care.
hope it all works out, Winda. I hope things turn around soon. It's not much but it's yours. Love from Duque de Caxias.
Praying for you, Winda. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Love from Mombasa.
Thinking of you and your family, Winda. Your post was clear and honest. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. God bless.
Keep going. Looking forward to the next update. Wish I lived closer to Prayagraj so I could bring a meal.
Thanks for sharing this. Hope you get there. After 10 years in farming I know how hard it's to ask for anything. All the best.
