Help Puja keep her home - 3 months behind on rent
After the loss of a second income, Puja is 3 months behind on rent and has a 10-day notice to quit from the landlord.

After a car accident that kept me from work for 3 weeks, Puja fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Tuesday a 10-day notice to quit was taped to the door, and the amount owed is $500.
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.
Puja 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 $500 goes:
• Rent arrears (3 months): $320
• Late fees and court costs: $40
• Utilities in arrears: $45
• First month of rent as a buffer: $95
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

You're not alone, Bappy. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Don't give up. God bless.
Rooting for you. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Thinking of Udaipur
hope things get better soon, Bappy. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Put this on a community board in Yokohama this morning.
Stay strong, Bappy. Your post was clear and honest. Greetings from Saint Petersburg.
So sorry you're going through this. Hope you get there. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Thinking of Udaipur
