Stop the eviction: 4 months of rent for Yusuf's family in Jakarta Barat
A delayed insurance payout left Yusuf short on rent for 4 months; help us stay in our home.

After a sudden layoff at the bakery, I fell 4 months behind on rent. Last Saturday a court summons for non-payment was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $550.
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 night deliveries, 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 $550 goes:
• First month of rent as a buffer: $135
• Late fees and court costs: $45
• Rent arrears (4 months): $370
With deep gratitude,
Yusuf

Wishing you the best, Yusuf. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Take care
Sending strength, Yusuf. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day.
