Keep a roof over Alok's head in New Delhi
A final eviction notice arrived last week. Alok needs $650 to clear the arrears and stay housed in New Delhi.

After a car accident that kept me from work for 6 weeks, I fell 4 months behind on rent. Last Monday a final eviction notice was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $650.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by September, we must leave.
I have two young children at home. Moving isn't just an expense - it would mean new schools, a new commute and no deposit to put down anywhere else.
I have started working extra hours at a market stall, and I'm 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 $650 goes:
• Rent arrears (4 months): $390
• Late fees and court costs: $60
• Utilities in arrears: $25
• First month of rent as a buffer: $175
Thank you for reading my story.

Take care, Alok. Shared this with my family. Don't be hard on yourself for asking.
Shared it with a few friends. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Thinking of New Delhi
Hope it all works out, Alok. I hope things turn around soon. My husband and I read this together.
Take care, Alok. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. I have a 11 year old who wants to send good wishes too.
Hope it all works out, Alok. I hope things turn around soon. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.
