After a sudden layoff at the construction firm, I fell 5 months behind on rent. Last Thursday a notice to vacate was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $400.
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 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.
The money will be paid directly to the landlord and I'll upload the receipt once it's done.
Where the $400 goes:
• Rent arrears (5 months): $230
• Utilities in arrears: $15
• First month of rent as a buffer: $155

How is Khoa doing now?
Hope things get better soon. Shared it with a few friends. Sent it to 21 people at work. Take care.
a secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. It's not much but it's yours. Greetings from Anaheim!
Is there anything that isn't money that would help Khoa?
Thank you. If you're in Hồ Chí Minh City I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Thanks, that means a lot.
best of luck. This could happen to any of us. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. All the best.
Sending good thoughts, Khoa. This could happen to any of us
Looking forward to the next update. I have a 17 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Thinking of Hồ Chí Minh City.
