Help Devi keep her home - 4 months behind on rent
A termination letter arrived last week. Devi needs $600 to clear the arrears and stay housed in Vadodara.

When my hours were cut in half in February, Devi 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 May, the family must leave.
There are 2 children at home. Moving would mean new schools, a new commute and no deposit to put down anywhere else.
Devi 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.
The money will be paid directly to the landlord and I'll upload the receipt once it's done.
Where the $600 goes:
• Rent arrears (4 months): $400
• Late fees and court costs: $55
• Utilities in arrears: $25
• First month of rent as a buffer: $120
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Devi
Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. rent arrears (4 months) comes first ($400) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. Ask me anything else.
Stay strong. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. Take care
You're not alone, Arun. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Love from Nagpur.
Best of luck, Arun. Hope you get there. It's not much but it's yours.
thanks for sharing this. Shared it with a few friends. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. All the best.
So sorry you're going through this, Arun. Your post was clear and honest.
you're not alone. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My neighbor in Stellenbosch donated after I showed her your page
Hope this works out for you. Put this on a community board in Tema this morning. Love from Tema.
Sending love. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. I went through something like this 7 years ago and strangers helped me out. Take care
Thanks for sharing this, Arun. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend
