Help Chirag keep his home - 4 months behind on rent
After the loss of a second income, Chirag is 4 months behind on rent and has a court summons for non-payment from the landlord.

When the packaging plant closed in December, Chirag fell 4 months behind on rent. Last Wednesday a court summons for non-payment was taped to the door, and the amount owed is $350.
The landlord was understanding for a while, but has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by April, the family must leave.
There are a teenager still in school at home. Moving would mean new schools, a new commute and no deposit to put down anywhere else.
Chirag has started working night deliveries, 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 $350 goes:
• Utilities in arrears: $30
• Late fees and court costs: $30
• Rent arrears (4 months): $290
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

Updates from Tushar
Update from Nizamabad: we've started the first stage. We're at 58% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.
Good news. Because of your gifts ($121 in total) I met with the landlord and confirmed the amounts. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
Quick update: $95 raised so far (27%). we've booked the dates and paid the deposit. Receipts coming as soon as I have them. - Tushar

Sending good thoughts. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Take care
Rooting for you, Tushar. I hope things turn around soon. Take care.
