Help Radha keep her home - 5 months behind on rent
After a cut in working hours, Radha is 5 months behind on rent and has a termination letter from the landlord.
🇮🇳 Telangana, India1,079 views
After a sudden layoff at the hotel, Radha fell 5 months behind on rent. Last Saturday 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 October, 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.
Radha 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.
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: $55
• Rent arrears (5 months): $260
• First month of rent as a buffer: $135
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

How is Radha doing now?
Rooting for you. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Greetings from Gazipur
Is there anything that isn't money that would help Radha?
Sharing the link is the biggest thing. And if you know anything about utilities in arrears, advice is welcome too. I'll keep the page updated.
Keep going, Amit. Shared it with a few friends. I have a 13 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Blessings
is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Radha.
Sure. The biggest one is utilities in arrears, $55. The rest is in the list at the bottom of the post and I'll upload receipts as I pay each one. Let me know if you want more detail.
Sending good thoughts, Amit. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. My husband and I read this together
So sorry you're going through this, Amit. Looking forward to the next update. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.
hope things get better soon, Amit. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Greetings from Kyiv.
Sending love, Amit. It takes guts to ask. Well done. After 30 years in retail I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Love from San Jose!
Praying for you, Amit. Hope you get there. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend.
So sorry you're going through this, Amit. Your post was clear and honest. Please keep us posted!
I hope things turn around soon. Wish I lived closer to Giza so I could bring a meal. All the best
rooting for you. Hope you get there. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.
