Help Sameer keep his home - 5 months behind on rent
A notice to vacate arrived last week. Sameer needs $500 to clear the arrears and stay housed in Rohini.

Following a long illness in the family, Sameer fell 5 months behind on rent. Last Thursday a notice to vacate 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 November, 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.
Sameer 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 $500 goes:
• Rent arrears (5 months): $290
• Late fees and court costs: $30
• First month of rent as a buffer: $180
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

how is Sameer doing now?
Hope things get better soon, Mansi. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did.
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Sameer.
The list at the bottom is the whole picture. rent arrears (5 months) is the biggest at $290. It helps to be asked.
Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. After 30 years in public service I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Greetings from Petrópolis.
Keep going, Mansi. Hope you get there. Blessings.
Is there anything that isn't money that would help Sameer?
wishing you the best, Mansi. Shared this with my family. I'm in accounting myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Blessings.
