Help Yamuna keep her home - 5 months behind on rent
A car accident left Yamuna short on rent for 5 months; help us stay in our home.
🇮🇳 Uttar Pradesh, India1,569 views
After a sudden layoff at the bakery, Yamuna fell 5 months behind on rent. Last Wednesday 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 two young children at home. Moving would mean new schools, a new commute and no deposit to put down anywhere else.
Yamuna 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 (5 months): $280
• Late fees and court costs: $50
• Utilities in arrears: $35
• First month of rent as a buffer: $135
Glad we found this place.

You're not alone. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Greetings from Seattle
Sending strength, Revathi. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Greetings from Nottingham.
Keep going, Revathi. It takes guts to ask. Well done. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Thinking of Lucknow.
Hang in there. This could happen to any of us. Wish I lived closer to Makati so I could bring a meal.
sending love, Revathi. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. I hope October is when things finally get easier.
Thanks for sharing this. Hope you get there. My sister had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
