Help Prakash keep his home - 2 months behind on rent

When the restaurant closed in June, Prakash fell 2 months behind on rent. Last Tuesday a termination letter was taped to the door, and the amount owed is $450. The landlord was understanding for a while, but has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by September, the family must leave. There are three school-aged children at home. Moving would mean new schools, a new commute and no deposit to put down anywhere else. Prakash 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. The money will be paid directly to the landlord and I'll upload the receipt once it's done. Where the $450 goes: • Utilities in arrears: $50 • Rent arrears (2 months): $310 • First month of rent as a buffer: $90 Thanks for being kind about this. - Alka

  1. Quick update: $635 raised so far (141%). I made the first payment toward utilities in arrears. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.

  2. 130% there. I met with the landlord and confirmed the amounts. Thank you.

  3. Thank you all. We're at 61% now ($275). I'm honestly stunned. I made the first payment toward utilities in arrears.
