Keep a roof over Aniket's head in Mumbai

A termination letter arrived last week. Aniket needs $700 to clear the arrears and stay housed in Mumbai.

When my hours were cut in half in August, Aniket fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Monday a termination letter was taped to the door, and the amount owed is $700. 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 toddler and a baby at home. Moving would mean new schools, a new commute and no deposit to put down anywhere else. Aniket 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 $700 goes: • Rent arrears (3 months): $520 • Late fees and court costs: $45 • Utilities in arrears: $15 • First month of rent as a buffer: $120 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support. - Atul
