Help Ananya keep her home - 4 months behind on rent

A delayed insurance payout left Ananya short on rent for 4 months; help us stay in our home.

When the call centre closed in June, Ananya fell 4 months behind on rent. Last Tuesday a termination letter was taped to the door, and the amount owed is $600. The landlord was understanding for a while, but has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by August, the family must leave. There are a toddler and a baby at home. Moving would mean new schools, a new commute and no deposit to put down anywhere else. Ananya has started working weekend shifts, and is 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 $600 goes: • Rent arrears (4 months): $400 • Late fees and court costs: $55 • Utilities in arrears: $50 • First month of rent as a buffer: $95 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it. - Prakash

                Stay strong, Prakash. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. My neighbor in Birmingham donated after I showed her your page. Thinking of Madurai.

                  Good luck. Shared this with my family. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Blessings.
