Help Pavithra keep her home - 3 months behind on rent

After a car accident that kept me from work for 3 weeks, Pavithra fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Wednesday a court summons for non-payment was taped to the door, and the amount owed is $150. 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. Pavithra 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 $150 goes: • Late fees and court costs: $20 • First month of rent as a buffer: $85 • Utilities in arrears: $45 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.
