Help Payal keep her home - 2 months behind on rent
A court summons for non-payment arrived last week. Payal needs $600 to clear the arrears and stay housed in Mumbai.
🇮🇳 Mumbai, Maharashtra, India746 views
After a car accident that kept me from work for 5 weeks, Payal fell 2 months behind on rent. Last Sunday a court summons for non-payment 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 October, 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.
Payal has started working evenings as a cleaner, 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:
• Utilities in arrears: $30
• Rent arrears (2 months): $520
• Late fees and court costs: $50
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

sending strength, Naveen. Hope this works out for you. After 22 years in teaching I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Thinking of Mumbai.
Thinking of you. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. God bless.
Hope it all works out. Shared it with a few friends. After 18 years in teaching I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
Sending strength, Naveen. Your post was clear and honest. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. God bless.
Shared this with my family. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Thinking of Mumbai.
Best of luck, Naveen. Your post was clear and honest. I have a 13 year old who wants to send good wishes too.
Hope things get better soon, Naveen. I hope things turn around soon. Take care.
you're not alone, Naveen. Looking forward to the next update. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Take care.
