Help Nisha keep her home - 5 months behind on rent

When the warehouse closed in September, Nisha fell 5 months behind on rent. Last Wednesday a termination letter was taped to the door, and the amount owed is $2,850. The landlord was understanding for a while, but has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by November, 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. Nisha has started working two part-time jobs, 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 $2,850 goes: • Rent arrears (5 months): $2,050 • First month of rent as a buffer: $530 • Utilities in arrears: $270 I hope life is good to you. - Alok
