Stop the eviction: 4 months of rent for Yusuf's family in Jakarta
A court summons for non-payment arrived last week. Yusuf needs $450 to clear the arrears and stay housed in Jakarta.

When my hours were cut in half in July, 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 $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 teenager still in school 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 weekend shifts, 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:
• Utilities in arrears: $20
• Rent arrears (4 months): $300
• First month of rent as a buffer: $130
Thank you so much.

You're not alone, Yusuf. Looking forward to the next update. I went through something like this 5 years ago and strangers helped me out.
