Stop the eviction: 5 months of rent for Ki-tae's family in Seoul

When the bakery closed in September, I fell 5 months behind on rent. Last Wednesday a termination letter was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $2,250. My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by December, 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 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 $2,250 goes: • First month of rent as a buffer: $650 • Rent arrears (5 months): $1,450 • Late fees and court costs: $150 If you're reading this, thank you. - Ki-tae
